Ankle Physical Therapyin Dayton & surrounding cities

Your ankle, the joint where your foot and leg meet, is an intricate network of bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Strong enough to bear your body weight, your ankle joint can be prone to injury and pain. Injury to any of the bones, ligaments or tendons in the ankle can cause ankle pain. Most ankle pain, however, is the result of a sprain, which occurs when your ankle rolls over your foot, causing a ligament to stretch or tear. Though sprains are often sports-related, they can also occur when you walk on an uneven surface or simply take a misstep. Common causes of ankle pain include:

  1. Achilles tendinitis
  2. Achilles tendon rupture
  3. Avulsion fracture
  4. Broken ankle/broken foot
  5. Gout
  6. Osteoarthritis
  7. Pseudogout
  8. Rheumatoid arthritis
  9. Septic arthritis
  10. Sprained ankle
  11. Sprains and strains

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A typical order for physical therapy will ask for 2-3 visits per week for 4-6 weeks. Sometimes the order will specify something different. What generally happens is for the first 2-3 weeks, we recommend 3x per week. This is because it will be the most intensive portion of your treatment. After that, it is common to taper to 2x weekly, based on your level of function and progress.

  • Yes. Physical therapy works based on the science of how the body rebuilds and heals. The biggest killer of progress is inconsistency. We recommend adhering to your prescribed sessions agreed upon in your PT Eval to achieve desired results.

Hear from patients that reclaimed their lives.

The physical therapy I received was excellent. I had never had physical therapy before and was very nervous. All staff knowledgable, personable, and they really listened to my complaints. I always left feeling better than when I came in. I would highly recommend Xcel. Any more physical therapy for me I know where I will be going.

I was given personalized, detailed physical therapy. The therapist took their time and did not rush any procedure. They explained every procedure before starting and made sure I was comfortable. I love this place and will continue coming until I recover.

I came here for a back injury. The staff was courteous and very professional. They provided excellent PT and encouraged several exercises at home to improve long term functioning and range of motion. Their fees were explained with no surprises. I fully recommend them without reservations.

I visited for vestibular therapy. The people were extremely helpful and easy to deal with. That reduced my anxiety/stress. They were professional and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. I felt very much at ease with them. I will use them again if the need arises.

Really impressed with the time they spent working on my problem. Did more than my family doctor and chiropractor combined. Diagnosed my knee problem, recommended at home exercises and it’s getting better. They’ve earned my trust.
