Who This Is For
High Performance Is Your Standard. But Your Ankle and Foot Is Holding You Back.
You push your body. You stay active. You expect resilience.
But now every step, every jump, every run is a calculated risk.
- The sharp pull in your heel when you get out of bed.
- The stabbing pain that flares during a workout or long walk.
- The ankle that buckles, the stiffness that lingers, or the swelling that won’t go away.
This isn’t just “getting older.” It’s a breakdown in performance.
We Help People Who:
- Are sidelined by Achilles pain, plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, or instability.
- Were told to “stretch it,” “ice it,” or “wait it out”—but still can’t perform pain-free.
- Tried orthotics, taping, massage, or cortisone—but results didn’t last.
- Are sick of taking Advil, limping through workouts, or sitting out from sports.
- Expect their feet and ankles to support their drive, whether on the court, in the gym, or just navigating life.
- Want real answers—not band-aid fixes or generic rehab routines.
Whether it’s Achilles Tendonitis, Partial Tear, Chronic Plantar Fasciitis, Ankle Ligament Injury, or Early Ankle & Foot Arthritis your stride, power, and rhythm are compromised.
You avoid stairs.
You can’t sprint, hike, or jump without hesitation.
Tennis, golf, pickleball, running—even chasing your kids—feel like a grind.
We don’t chase symptoms.
We correct the root causes: weakness, poor tissue quality, mobility loss, and inflammation.
We rebuild and recondition your foot and ankle from the inside out—
so you move with power, stability, and confidence again.
If you’re ready to stop limping through life and start moving like an athlete again this is for you.
Why Does Ankle and Foot Pain Happen?
The ankle and foot are complex, high-load structures that absorb the full impact of every step, jump, and landing you take. Over time, the ligaments, tendons, fascia, and cartilage that support these joints begin to wear down especially when exposed to poor mechanics, hard surfaces, improper footwear, or old injuries that were never fully resolved.
Issues like pain on top of the foot, lateral foot pain, or ankle pain when walking or running often develop gradually. Many clients we see in Oakville and the GTA did not report a dramatic injury. They simply “pushed through” mild strains, ignored morning heel pain, or kept training with unstable ankles. These overlooked foot and ankle pain causes accumulate silently until one day, walking, training, or even standing becomes a challenge.
At Peak Health VIP, we don’t just manage foot and ankle pain, we correct the underlying dysfunction that’s causing it. Using diagnostic ultrasound, regenerative injections, and targeted biomechanical re-training led by an award-winning ankle and foot doctor in Oakville, we help you rebuild the foundation of movement, so you can walk, train, and live without hesitation.
Conditions We Treat at Our Foot and Ankle Pain Clinic in Oakville
Achieve lasting relief and peak performance with evidence-based regenerative treatments for ankle and foot pain, delivered with personalized, high-level care.
Achilles Tendinitis / Partial Tear
Back-of-heel pain from inflammation or microtears in the Achilles tendon, often triggered by repetitive running, jumping, or sudden changes in training load during sport or fitness activities. At Peak Health VIP, we use regenerative therapy to promote tendon healing while correcting biomechanical overload patterns to prevent recurrence.
Plantar Fasciitis
Heel and foot arch pain from irritation of the plantar fascia, often triggered by prolonged standing, walking on hard surfaces, or poor foot mechanics during daily or sports activity. Our approach addresses not just only the fascia, but also restores foot-ankle-calf mechanics and uses regenerative therapies to repair chronic strain at its source.
Ankle Sprain (Lateral / Medial Ligaments)
Ankle pain and instability from overstretching or tearing of the ankle ligaments, commonly caused by sudden twisting, rolling the ankle, or landing awkwardly during sport or movement. We don’t just “rest and brace”. We use diagnostic ultrasound to assess ligament damage, apply regenerative injections if needed, and re-train balance and joint control for full recovery.
Ankle & Foot Osteoarthritis
Chronic ankle or midfoot pain and stiffness from cartilage breakdown, often developing after repeated sprains, fractures, or poor foot alignment leading to early joint degeneration and mobility loss over time. Most clients are told to “manage it” until surgery but we take a different approach. Using regenerative medicine and alignment correction, we help preserve joint space, reduce inflammation, and restore daily function without invasive procedures.
Advanced Modalities We Use To Treat Ankle and Foot Pain Injuries
Whether ankle and foot pain is keeping you from training, enjoying your hobbies, or getting through the workday, our regenerative treatments can help you move freely again.
Shockwave Therapy
Clinically shown to reduce chronic tendon pain, shockwave therapy is used first at Peak Health VIP to break down scar tissue and prime the area for regenerative treatment.
Nerve Entrapment Release (PIT)
Peak Health VIP relieves nerve pain, tingling, or weakness post-injury by releasing compressed nerves for faster recovery.
Prolotherapy
Strengthens loose or damaged ligaments, especially after sprains. Peak Health VIP combines it with shockwave for stronger joint stability and faster healing.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Our PRP delivers 15–18 billion platelets per treatment, over triple the volume of standard kits for joint pain, tendon tears, cartilage, and meniscus injuries.
Ultrasound
Peak Health VIP uses dynamic ultrasound imaging to stress-test ligaments and tendons during movement, not just static scans like most clinics rely on.
Supplementation
Targeted supplements support recovery, inflammation control, and tissue repair, personalized based on your lab results and injury type for optimal outcomes.

Top FAQs – Foot and Ankle Pain
What types of sports-related ankle & foot injuries affect adults 35+?
Common issues include Achilles tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciitis, Lateral Ankle Sprains, Peroneal tendon injuries, and early-stage ankle or mid-foot osteoarthritis often triggered by chronic strain, sudden twists, or unresolved past injuries.
What are the signs of chronic ankle instability from old sprains?
Symptoms include ongoing ankle weakness, frequent “giving way,” swelling after activity, and reduced balance, common when a sprain doesn’t fully heal.
Do I need an MRI to diagnose my chronic ankle or foot injury?
In most cases an x-ray and ultrasound is good enough to diagnose those injuries. We use bedside ultrasound to get a clear view of the tissues and identify the source of symptoms—whether it’s top of foot pain, ball of foot pain, or deeper joint problems. Coupled with comprehensive laboratory testing, this allows us to uncover any underlying ankle and foot pain causes that other clinics tend to miss.
Are Achilles tendon injuries common in this age group?
Yes. Middle-aged athletes often present with Achilles tendinopathy or tears from returning to high-impact sports after rest or escalating training too fast, especially on hard surfaces.
Why does plantar fasciitis flare up in active individuals?
Causes include long hours walking or training on pavement, poor footwear, tight calf muscles, and collapsed arches. Symptoms often strike with the first step in the morning or after sitting.
I’ve tried physio and cortisone. Why does the pain keep coming back?
Because those are surface-level solutions. If root causes like poor foot mechanics, chronic instability, or tendon degeneration aren’t addressed, the symptoms will return. We treat the underlying dysfunction—not just the inflammation flare-up.
Can a past ankle sprain or foot injury cause problems years later?
Yes. Old injuries often leave behind ligament laxity, scar tissue, or faulty movement patterns. These hidden imbalances lead to chronic pain, instability, or joint inflammation.
Is my weight contributing to ankle or foot pain?
Added weight increases joint stress and contributes to fascia strain and tendon overload. However, it’s not just weight. Hormonal shifts and inflammation can increase swelling and pain sensitivity even in lean individuals.
What treatments actually heal the ankle and foot injuries?
We use regenerative treatments like PRP, prolotherapy, and tendon repair protocols to promote true healing of damaged tissues and accelerate recovery.
Will I eventually need surgery?
The goal is avoid or delay surgery as those are complex surgeries and the overall satisfaction rate post surgery is around 50-60%. Many clients avoid surgery with early intervention, regenerative therapy, and functional correction. The key is not to wait until the damage is advanced. Intervening early often saves the joint.
How long until I feel better once I start treatment?
It depends on the severity and your overall health. Most people notice a difference within 2–6 weeks. Full results often build over 3–6 months.
What makes your clinic’s approach different?
We don’t just treat the joint, we treat the person. Our method addresses inflammation, movement quality, and tissue regeneration as one integrated system. That’s why clients see results where other clinics fall short.
