Chronic Pain Management – FAQs
Chronic pain refers to discomfort or pain that persists for more than three months, often continuing even after the initial injury or condition has healed. In the feet and ankles, this may result from musculoskeletal conditions, nerve issues, inflammation, or past injuries that haven’t fully resolved. At Foot Foundation, we aim to identify the root cause and provide lasting relief through evidence-based, multidisciplinary care.
- Previous injuries or surgery
- Arthritis or joint degeneration
- Nerve compression or neuropathy
- Poor biomechanics or gait issues
- Long-term inflammation or overuse
Our clinicians perform a thorough assessment to determine the specific causes and contributing factors in each case.
Our treatment approach is multidisciplinary, combining podiatry, physiotherapy, and pain management expertise. Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may include:
- Manual therapy and mobilisation
- Exercise prescription and strengthening
- Shockwave therapy or orthotic support
- Pain management techniques and education
- Lifestyle and footwear recommendations
This integrative approach ensures both symptom relief and long-term improvement in mobility and comfort.
While chronic pain can be challenging to eliminate completely, it can be effectively managed and significantly reduced. Our goal is to restore function, improve comfort, and help you regain confidence in your daily activities. With consistent care and the right strategies, many patients experience a noticeable improvement in quality of life.
Anyone experiencing persistent foot or ankle pain that interferes with daily activities can benefit. This includes individuals with long-standing injuries, conditions like plantar fasciitis or arthritis, or those who have not found relief from previous treatments.
The timeline for improvement varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of your pain. Some patients experience relief within a few sessions, while others require a longer-term program for lasting results. Your clinician will outline realistic expectations and regularly adjust your plan based on your progress.
In many cases, ongoing management is beneficial to maintain mobility and prevent flare-ups. Your clinician will work with you to develop a long-term plan that fits your lifestyle — including exercises, footwear guidance, and follow-up appointments as needed.
Absolutely. Chronic pain management often works best when combined with other Foot Foundation services such as mobilisations and manipulations, soft tissue therapy, orthotic therapy, or hydrotherapy. These complementary treatments enhance recovery and improve overall outcomes.
Chronic Pain Management programs are available at all Foot Foundation clinics — Pinehill, Smales Farm, Remuera, Botany, Hamilton, and Tauranga.
