That sudden pull in your lower leg from walking, running or jumping is quite a common problem. Depending on how badly you have injured your calf, a calf strain can either be a little nagging pain while you walk, or can take you fully out of your regular activity, and possibly require you to walk with crutches! We hope to help you learn more about the anatomy, causes, symptoms, and rehabilitation for calf strains.

Trust your body’s signals as well as your instincts when pain develops. A trained Physical Therapist can help you address and overcome chronic discomfort.

This month's 'Be Inspired' message above couldn't be more fitting. We have been going through a lot of therapist staffing changes as of late. We wish Dr. Adam Weaver the best in his new life in Connecticut. He will be missed. We are thrilled about the addition of Dr. Jesse Lewis, PT, DPT, OCS to the practice. Our number one priority is to take care of our patients by providing the highest quality of care. Be assured that any therapist addition to the practice is done with this value kept in mind.
