Gene Experienced Years of Chronic Foot Pain
Gene, a veteran located locally in Pennsylvania, had years of chronic foot pain that hindered his activities and daily life. Doctors couldn’t identify the reason of his suffering. After many VA visits, X-rays, MRIs, and other therapies, it seemed hopeless.
The only solution offered was for Gene to wear supportive shoes twenty-four hours a day. His suffering continued despite the shoe supports. It was difficult for him to enjoy hiking, riding, and other hobbies that he used to enjoy.
PEAK’s Approach to Healing Foot Pain
Our team handled things differently when Gene arrived at PEAK Integrative Medicine. We concentrated on strengthening, stretching, and enhancing circulation to the afflicted regions rather than depending on extra cushioning and support.
His course of physical therapy and treatment consisted of:
- Muscle Stripping Therapy: Applied to alleviate persistent stiffness and increase blood flow, this is the scraping technique.
- Ultrasound Therapy: Sound waves aided in scar tissue breaking down and healing encouragement.
- Targeted Exercises: Increased mobility and strengthened underactive muscles.
Resolving Chronic Foot Pain and Returning to an Active Life
Gene’s foot discomfort improved dramatically in only three months. Something he hadn’t done in years, he could walk barefoot easily and even went on lengthy walks without his special shoes.
“I feel like I’m getting a piece of my life back. I didn’t think I’d be able to do long hikes again, but now things are coming around.”
