Introduction to Ankle Issues

Physiotherapy in Edmonton for Ankle Issues

Welcome to Revive Spine and Sport Physiotherapy Clinic’s resource about the ankle.

Ankle AnatomyAnkle injuries can be a real pain, literally and figuratively.  Not only can they lay you up or make you hobble around, they may cause you to banish your favorite pair of stilettos to the closet or cancel that game of touch football that you had planned for the weekend.

If you are currently in pain and suffering from an ankle injury, it is important that you know the facts about this sensitive area.  After all, if your ankle injury is not given the proper attention and healed completely, you run the risk of it occurring again.

In this area of our site you will find various resources on the types of ankle injuries that you could suffer from as well as information about the steps that should be taken for fixing this problem.

Take the time and make sure you get proper attention; after all, you have better things to do than hobble around on a pair of crutches.

 I have been to a few physio places for back problems, but I am just blown away by this place. If you have the chance, go see Shane. He is truly a very knowledgeable and professional chiropractor. He doesn't just crack your back. He takes the time to explain why you have the pain in the first place and gives you ideas for exercises that will take the pain away forever. He can explain why your whole body is hurting (e.g. he explained why my back and achilles tendonitis are connected). Simply amazing. Just started going to this place, but I am already so impressed and feeling the benefits. Definitely recommend!

 Paul is an excellent physiotherapist and helped me a lot doing all that he could to get me AHS coverage for a multiple break of my ankle and wrist resulting in surgery. I did find that he moves quickly on exercises for me having some memory problems but when I addressed this with him he was wonderful in explaining and being caring. As I say he got me strong and well on the road to full healing with limited sessions. Thanks Paul and staff.

 I have been a patient of Dr. Samoil a couple of times over the past year. The first was an odd foot pain that would occur periodically. After seeing hospital doctors and not seeing results, I went to see Dr. Samoil. Dr. Samoil identified the problem right away and assigned me stretches and exercises. Within a few weeks the pain was gone and hasn’t returned due to the continuation of the assigned physio. Shortly after that, I seriously injured my lower back lifting a heavy object. To the point I was confined to a bed for a week. Once again I went to Dr. Samoil. With chiropractic treatments and assigned stretches and exercises, my recovery has been steady and well ahead of schedule. I recommend Dr. Samoil 100% to anyone needing help.

 I first visited the clinic after an ankle injury that I endured during sports activity refused to be healed with traditional methods of just icing and resting it a lot. I was first greeted in a very friendly and warm manner by the doctor himself and the receptionist , and they are extremely easy to talk to in general like a friend! Dr. Sivakumar is extremely knowledgable and visibly interested in helping you recover as quick as possible, as I found major improvement by my 3rd session. On a side note, being a Kinesiology student was a bonus for me because of the great lengths he went to when describing the what, why, and how of everything regarding my ankle treatment. Would one hundred percent recommened this clinic to people in general, and especially those who may play a lot of sports and pick up injuries!

 Revive definitely is a fantastic experience. I had my doubts about physiotherapy as a whole but after my 4th week Dr. Siva successfully delivered results. He guided me to treat my achilles tendonitis which healed in such rapid succession. With all the advanced tools and knowledge Dr. Siva skillfully consults, isolates, , observes, and most importantly educates you on just about everything. With ultrasound treatment, shockwave therapy, thermal induction and physical assessments Dr. Siva made it possible for myself to return to the activities, sports, friends, and family fun I had been missing out all these years. Those with Bluecross and First Canadian will be pleased with direct billing and the rates are fantastic. I highly recommend coming here. Thank you Mara

 Called about seeing someone for a sprained ankle. The front desk staff were very helpful on the phone as well as polite which you don't get very often. They got me in the very next day. When I arrived I was greeted again by the wonderful front desk staff. Sudharshan and Girish are amazing and SOOO friendly. They were gentle and answered all of my questions. Great staff, great location, great hours. 100% recommend this place to everyone!
