Arizona Foot and Ankle Pain treatment

Treatment for Foot & Ankle Pain

Achilles Tendinitis, Plantar Fasciitis,  Morton’s Neuroma

The foot and ankle are common sites of pain due to their weight-bearing role and repetitive impact. The nerves most commonly involved in pain of the lower leg are the Deep Tibial, Peroneal, Sural and Saphenous nerves. The Achilles tendon turns into the Plantar Fascia on the bottom of the foot. These two structures are common sources of pain due to their importance in walking, running and standing. The foot and ankle are also rich in nerves that transmit pain. A “Morton’s neuroma” is an example of the swelling that occurs to chronically irritated nerves.

“One of the most gratifying aspects of my clinic is seeing a patient walk in with debilitating pain and walk out feeling dramatically improved. Treating acute or chronic pain has been one of the motivating factors for my pursuit in learning Neural Prolotherapy. It is amazing to myself and the patient to have their pain extinguished. I have received more than one hug for treating patients that suffer from this severe pain.”
