You've tried rest, ice, and generic exercises, but the pain keeps coming back every time you return to activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our Dunwoody practice
How long does ankle pain physical therapy take?
Recovery time varies based on your condition, but most patients see significant improvement within 4-8 weeks of consistent treatment. Because we provide one-on-one care with longer appointment times, we can often achieve results faster than traditional PT clinics. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will give you a realistic timeline during your initial assessment.
Do you accept insurance for ankle pain treatment?
Functionize is a cash-based, private-pay practice, which means we don't bill insurance directly. This model allows us to spend quality time with you—typically 45-60 minutes per session—without insurance restrictions. We can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find the personalized attention and faster results worth the investment.
What should I expect at my first ankle pain physical therapy visit?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive 60-minute evaluation where we'll discuss your pain history, goals, and lifestyle. We'll conduct a thorough movement assessment to identify the root cause of your ankle pain—not just the symptoms. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you.
Do you treat chronic ankle instability and recurring sprains?
Absolutely. Chronic ankle instability is one of our specialties. We use a combination of manual therapy, dry needling, proprioceptive training, and targeted strengthening to restore stability and prevent future sprains. Many of our patients are runners, tennis players, and athletes who've struggled with recurring ankle issues—and we've helped them return to their sports stronger than before.
