Physical Therapy for Ankle Pain

At PTC Miami we treat your shoulder pain by focusing on physical therapy to optimize your physical function, mobility, and quality of life. We will assess, diagnose, and treat your shoulder injuries, illnesses, or disabilities through targeted exercises, manual techniques, and therapeutic modalities.

Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is an application of hands-on techniques by skilled clinicians to manipulate your soft tissues, joints, and nerves. Manual therapy is important for multiple body systems and is proven to be effective in decreasing your pain and tissue tension, improving quality of movement, and guiding patients through their exercises.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a technique we often use in physical therapy. IASTM works like a standard massage, but specialized instruments are used in place of a physical therapist’s hands. These instruments allow more direct treatment of the soft tissues involved with movement. The tissues include:
- Muscles
- Fascia, connective tissue that surrounds and separates muscles
- Ligaments, tissue that connects bones to other bones
- Tendons, tissue that connects muscles to bones
Shockwave Therapy for Ankle Pain
Class IV Laser Therapy
PTC offers Class IV deep tissue laser therapy, a non-invasive and painless solution that's highly effective for addressing a range of conditions. Our high-powered laser penetrates deep into your tissues, triggering healing responses at the cellular level.
With Class IV lasers, we can deliver greater photonic energy in a shorter time frame compared to Class 3B lasers, all while maintaining a stable tissue temperature during treatment. This enhanced power is particularly beneficial for treating injuries in deeper tissues like ligaments, muscles, tendons, and cartilage.
Game Ready
Cryotherapy
At our physical therapy clinic, we prioritize your rehabilitation and recovery following orthopedic injuries or surgery. We offer Game Ready's range of units and wraps, providing you with a comprehensive injury and post-operative treatment plan that incorporates cold therapy techniques to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
Electrical Stimulation
E-stim sends mild electrical pulses through the skin to help stimulate injured muscles or manipulate nerves to reduce pain. There are several E-stim modes that use different types of currents intended to stimulate different nerves in a variety of specific ways, such as interferential, pre-modulated, Russian, and symmetrical or asymmetrical bi-phasic. Don’t let the words confuse you, though. Your physical therapist will decide on the right one to meet your unique needs.
Our clinic frequently utilizes electrical stimulation in order to provide a variety of beneficial healing effects, including:
- Reduce, eliminate, and/or control pain (both acute and chronic)
- Increase local circulation
- Decrease swelling
- Improve range of motion
- Reduce muscle spasm
- Provide biofeedback (aka improve body awareness)
- Improve motor coordination
- Provide neuromuscular re-education
- Prevent or reverse muscle atrophy (especially after prolonged immobilization, such as a limb being cast as a fracture heals)
