FAQs

Can I walk on a sprained ankle, or should I avoid putting weight on it?

It depends on the severity of the sprain. Rest and avoid putting excessive weight on the ankle initially. Gradually introduce weight as the pain diminishes, following medical advice.

How long does it take for an ankle injury to heal?

The recovery time varies based on the type and severity of the ankle injury. Mild sprains may heal in a few weeks, while more severe injuries may take several months.

Are there exercises to strengthen the ankle after an injury?

Yes, physical therapy often includes exercises to strengthen the ankle, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. However, it’s crucial to follow a customized exercise plan prescribed by a healthcare professional.

When is surgery necessary for an ankle injury?

Surgery is typically considered for severe injuries, such as fractures or ligament tears that do not respond to conservative treatments. A healthcare provider will assess the specific case to determine the need for surgery.

Can wearing ankle braces prevent future injuries?

Ankle braces can provide additional support and help prevent certain types of ankle injuries, especially during high-risk activities. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable preventive measures for your case.

How can I reduce the risk of recurring ankle injuries?

Regular ankle-strengthening exercises, maintaining good flexibility, wearing supportive footwear, and being cautious during physical activities can help reduce the risk of recurring ankle injuries. If you have concerns, consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Can’t say enough about Wes

I hurt my leg training for a marathon and after working with him a few months, my leg feels GREAT! I just got home from a trip to Europe that I was a little worried about. I felt 100% the 2nd or 3rd day in Paris - maybe it was the 12-13 miles we were walking every day, maybe it was the French bread/wine, maybe it was both. Since i've been back, i've been riding my (indoor) bike too, just trying to get my leg stronger (still going to the gym, still doing my exercises).

THANK YOU for all of your efforts, your knowledge, your patience. I couldn't have done it without your guidance. And it is 100000% appreciated.

John K.

Skilled and very engaging

I found Wes while he was at Diablo PT via Yelp when I needed help with severe sciatic pain. I was able to schedule sessions with Wes and was amazed at his knowledge, skill and very engaging personality.

At no time did I ever feel that I was getting a "cookie cutter" problem. He listens very well and works with you as an individual to provide exactly what you need.

I can't say enough good things about Wes and how much he helped me fully recover and get even better than I was before my injury.

James F.

I feel better each time I leave

Wes Anderson is one of the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is professional, bright, explains everything he is doing to strengthen my body, and I feel better each time I leave. He does not just give you a massage. He is breaking down tight muscles and gives me more flexibility and movement.

Jim O.

No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care

I highly recommend Wes in Danville. Before going to Wes I had gone to several other places. Wes is, hands down, the one of the best. I saw him at his old clinic in Danville Diablo Physical Therapy. No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care.

Susan P.

Super detail oriented

Wes is awesome. Very knowledgeable and supportive.

Super detail oriented, reviewed my surgery notes and stick with me through each rep to make sure I'm doing it right. Hands down the best PT experience l've ever had.

Makes the process a vastly easier therapy

Wes puts a lot of attention into the process, and keeps you involved with his great sense of humor. Though the exercises can be arduous, he makes the process a vastly easier therapy.
