Evaluation and Assessment

Individualized training programs are essential for strengthening the muscles and tissues around the foot region. Stabilizing a weakened part of the foot, this helps to stabilize the whole foot and increase its overall function, hence providing better mobility that can help in future pain treatment strategies.
Modalities
Ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and cryotherapy are sophisticated methods for pain relief, inflammation reduction and tissue repair. Therefore, this combined with other forms of treatment makes up a complete approach to foot pain management.
Gait Analysis and Correction

Educating the Patient
You must be educated about foot pain management through knowledge given to you, as well as the skills. When we educate our patients, we teach them to properly take care of their feet, control themselves, and change their behavior so that no more pain occurs in their feet.
Collegial Care
