Foot Pain

Foot Pain Treatment

If foot pain is keeping you from walking comfortably, staying active, or doing the things you love, you’re not alone. Whether it’s a sharp pain in your heel, stiffness in your arch, or recurring ankle sprains, our team at Dynamic Physiotherapy & Chiropractic in Kanata and Kemptville is here to help.

Understanding Foot Pain

Foot pain can affect anyone, including runners, office workers, older adults, and weekend warriors. It often stems from overuse, poor biomechanics, inflammation, or injury, and can range from mild to debilitating.

Because your feet are the foundation for everything you do, even minor issues can have a major impact on how you move. Left untreated, foot pain can also lead to compensations in your knees, hips, or lower back, increasing the risk of further injury.

Types of Foot Pain We Treat

At our Kanata and Kemptville clinic, we treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including:

  • Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia causing stabbing arch and heel pain, especially in the morning.
  • Achilles Tendonitis: Overuse of the Achilles tendon leading to swelling and pain at the back of the heel.
  • Flat Feet / Fallen Arches: Poor foot mechanics that may lead to pain in the arch, heel, or legs.
  • Heel Spurs / Bone Spurs: Bony growths on the heel that can cause sharp pain with walking or standing.
  • Sprained Ankles: Ligament injuries often caused by rolling or twisting the ankle.
  • Overuse Injuries: Pain from repetitive motion or high-impact activities, often in runners or athletes.

Foot Pain Treatment Options

Our goal is to restore strength, stability, and alignment, while relieving pain and preventing future issues. Depending on your condition, treatment may include:

Shockwave Therapy

A highly effective, non-invasive treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and other soft tissue injuries. Shockwave stimulates blood flow and tissue regeneration to speed up the healing process in stubborn, chronic conditions.
