Foot & Ankle Therapy: A Patient-Focused Approach

Woman walking outdoorsWhen you work with Smolczynski Physical Therapy, you are partnering with a private practice that uses an individualized, patient-focused approach to PT.  Physical Therapists Nikki & Vince Smolczynski have been helping patients to get back on their feet for over 30 years.

We are proud of our record of success & patient satisfaction:

PAIN TREATMENT:  “I had a lot of pain in my left foot and ankle, it was so bad that I could hardly walk.  Having physical therapy here was the best thing I could have done for my foot.  I couldn’t have asked for better care. I want to thank Dr. D for referring me here.  I would recommend  Smolczynski PT to my family and friends.”  Carolyn A.

FRACTURE REHABILITATION:  “I was so impressed with my first round of PT with Vince & Nikki (for TMJ) that after fracturing my ankle, they were first on my list to rehab my ankle.  They had me walking way ahead of the schedule I was given post operatively.  They have the real gift of healing and provide outstanding and professional guidance and personal instruction. “  William S. 

MOBILITY & PAIN TREATMENT: “Before I had physical therapy I couldn’t move my toes, had constant pain and couldn’t fit any shoes on.  When I finished delivering my postal route, driving back to the station I had severe pain pressing the gas & brake pedals.  After having PT, I can wiggle my toes and have less pain than before. I can walk with my whole foot down.  It’s so much better than before with the help of my physical therapy people!  I want to thank my doctor for referring me.  They are wonderful and I will miss them dearly!”  Carmen P.

Using a variety of tools, Physical Therapy has proven to be successful in the treatment of foot and ankle problems, including balance and gait disturbances.

STEP ONE: We evaluate patient strength, range of motion, posture, endurance, pain levels, and  areas of muscle guarding to identify the factors that may affect balance and walking gait.

STEP TWO: We then formulate an individualized treatment program, which may include:  STRENGTHENING * RANGE OF MOTION * CLOSED CHAIN EXERCISE * STRETCHING * IONTOPHORESIS * ULTRASOUND * MYOFASCIAL RELEASE * FOOTWEAR ASSESSMENT

At SPTA, patients receive personal attention, an individualized treatment plan, and thorough education that will help them long after their therapy is over.
