Ankle & Foot Injuries (Sprains & Plantar Fasciitis)
Ankle sprains and plantar fasciitis are common workplace injuries, especially in jobs that require long hours of standing, walking, climbing stairs, or lifting. These conditions can cause significant pain and limit your ability to stay on your feet, making daily tasks more difficult.
Ankle & Foot Injuries (Sprains & Plantar Fasciitis)
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Rolling or twisting the ankle while walking or working on uneven surfaces
- Prolonged standing or walking without proper footwear support
- Sudden increase in physical demands at work
- Tight calf muscles or poor foot mechanics
- Inadequate warm-up or stretching before physical tasks
What Happens If Left Untreated?
Without care, ankle and foot injuries can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, increased risk of falls, and long-term strain on the knees, hips, or back. Plantar fasciitis may worsen over time, making every step painful.
How Premier Care Can Help:
- Manual Therapy: Improves ankle and foot mobility, reduces tightness, and restores movement
- Therapeutic Exercises: Strengthens foot, ankle, and calf muscles for improved support and balance
- Gait & Balance Training: Corrects walking patterns to reduce strain and prevent reinjury
- Work-Focused Rehab: Targets safe return to tasks like standing, walking, or stair use
- Pain Relief Techniques: Includes modalities like ice, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to ease discomfort
