Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat
Every step you take starts here. Heel and ankle problems deserve more than stretching handouts.
Foot and ankle pain changes how you walk, and a changed gait sends problems up through the knees, hips, and back. Plantar fasciitis alone can turn the first steps of every morning into a negotiation.
At The Spine Works we treat the common foot and ankle overuse conditions primarily with SoftWave therapy, which is designed to stimulate circulation and repair in tissues that are notoriously slow to heal on their own, like the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.
Dr. Farmer also assesses your gait and the joints above, because foot problems and mechanics problems usually travel together.
Key Benefits

Foot & Ankle Conditions We Help With
The conditions below are the foot and ankle complaints we treat most often in Nashville.
Plantar Fasciitis
That stabbing first-step heel pain comes from a thickened, irritated plantar fascia. SoftWave reaches it to help break the cycle.
Heel Pain
Not all heel pain is plantar fasciitis. We differentiate fascia, fat pad, and tendon problems so treatment matches the actual source.
Achilles Tendonitis
The Achilles has famously poor blood supply. Acoustic wave therapy is designed to increase circulation where the tendon needs it most.
Ankle Pain
Old sprains that never fully rehabilitated leave ankles stiff and unreliable. Joint work and stability guidance help restore function.
Foot & Ankle FAQ
The plantar fascia heals slowly because it gets limited blood flow and you stand on it all day. SoftWave therapy is designed to stimulate the healing response directly in the fascia, addressing why it stalls rather than just stretching it.
Restore motion to stiff joints, evaluate the mechanics that led to the problem, and support tissue healing with SoftWave where appropriate. Feet and ankles are joints like any other, and they respond to the same principles.
It depends on how chronic the problem is. Dr. Farmer will give you an honest estimate after examining your foot, and progress is reassessed as you go.
