Foot Pain? Sore ankle? Get back on your feet!
Ankle pain or foot pain is extremely common and varied. Foot and ankle pain can be brought on for a number of reasons, such as sudden injury, poor footwear or the amount of time spent on your feet every day. Foot and ankle pain can cause discomfort and aggravation and have an impact on your day to day life.
At our Chelmsford Clinic, we are continuously diagnosing and treating many problems involved with the feet. The ankle joint is a vulnerable joint subject to many types of injuries. The cause of pain is very varied too; it could be caused by sporting activities such as football, rugby or cricket to just walking down the road and stepping on the foot awkwardly or breaking your ankle trying to put a high heel on at home like one of our directors Nan managed to achieve!
No matter what your cause of pain, we are here to help! We have a great team of experienced specialists offering unique treatment plans to each individual. We also offer a complete bespoke prescription insole service to make your feet biomechanically sound to ensure the foundations of your body (your feet) are in perfect alignment to minimize the risk of continued problems and future problems in your body caused by the foot which could be in the shoulders for example.
What Can Cause Foot and Ankle Pain?
Sprains and strains
Foot and ankle pain refers to any type of pain or discomfort in your feet. The pain could be caused by an injury such as a sprain, or by a medical condition such as arthritis. It’s common to sprain ligaments in the feet or ankles by rolling over on them; this is when your foot rolls, causing the outside of your ankle to twist towards the ground, causing the ligaments to stretch or rip.
Poor footwear
Poor fitting shoes in the short term can cause blisters and bruising, and the long-term effects of wearing poor footwear can include bunions, corns, irritation of the nerves and joints and the misalignment of the toes. Super-flat shoes with thin soles and no arch support and high-heels aren’t always the kindest to our feet!
Excessive activity
Overuse or conditions causing inflammation involving any of the bones, ligaments or tendons in the foot can cause pain. If you go for long walks, push the miles in your runs or spend a lot of time on your feet every day, this can cause ankle and foot pain.
Nerve pain
If you are experiencing foot or ankle pain, this could be down to nerve compression like sciatica or arthritis. Both conditions are a common cause of foot pain which can result in intense burning pain, numbness or tingling.

I went to see Faye for a torn ACL in my right knee. I had seen many people regarding the issue and was in so much pain. I could hardly walk or straighten my leg. After just 3 sessions I can say I am able to finally do my day-to-day tasks and workouts without being in pain. Faye was very informative and professional and has helped me more than she knows! I know I will need ongoing treatment with my injury, but I feel well looked after and pain free for 90% of my days! Thank you, Faye!

I suffered a very serious shoulder injury in 2018 and was concerned for my future in my sport. Faye was recommended by my shoulder consultant due to her specialist experience with athletes and I cannot fault the treatment I have received. I am back to full fitness and strength now because of her expertise. Faye is very knowledgeable, and I heavily recommend her to anyone needing a top quality and professional Physiotherapist. Thank you, Faye.
