Foot & Ankle Pain Relief in Pittsburgh’s South Hills
Foot and ankle pain can make every step feel like a chore—whether it hits first thing in the morning, during your workout, or after long days on your feet. Issues like plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, tendinitis, and arch pain often don’t improve on their own because the root cause is rarely “just inflammation.”
It’s usually a mobility, strength, or gait-mechanics problem.
At New Edge Spine & Sport, we take a rehab-focused approach to uncover why your pain started and how to stop it from coming back for good.
Why Foot & Ankle Problems Happen
Most foot and ankle pain stems from one or more of the following:
Restricted ankle mobility
Weakness in the foot stabilizers
Improper gait mechanics
Old sprains that never healed properly
Limited hip strength affecting lower-body alignment
Flat feet or collapsing arches
Overuse from running, sports, or daily life
These issues place excess stress on the foot and ankle with every step, setting the stage for chronic pain.
Common Signs It’s Getting Worse
Morning pain with the first steps of the day
Tightness in the calf or arch
Recurrent ankle rolling or instability
Sharp heel pain after standing
Difficulty pushing off during walking or running
Numbness, burning, or pulling sensations in the foot
Ignoring early symptoms often leads to compensations in the knee, hip, and lower back.
Our Approach to Treating Foot & Ankle Pain
Your treatment combines chiropractic, myofascial work, and progressive rehab exercises designed to restore proper foot mechanics and stability.
Treatment may include:
Joint mobilization for the ankle and midfoot
Soft-tissue therapy for the plantar fascia and calf
Strengthening of foot intrinsic muscles
Balance and proprioceptive training
Gait retraining to reduce overloading
Corrective exercises for hips and knees
Sports-specific return-to-play protocols when needed
Our goal is simple:
Reduce pain now and restore strong, resilient mechanics so it doesn’t return.
