ANKLE/FOOT PAIN
Take back control with TrueFix Physical Therapy. High quality, consistent, and individualized care is the foundation of our company, and what we pride ourselves on the most.
The ankle and foot are put through a lot of demand. They absorb and transfer weight with every step we take. Injuries to this area can greatly impact mobility, limiting the ability to walk, run, and jump.
A thorough assessment is needed to determine exactly what tissues are involved and how to best address the condition. We strive to help resolve the root cause and prevent it from returning. If your goals are to walk, run, hike, jump, or participate in any physically demanding activities, we want to help you reach those goals.
Based on the specific condition and clinical presentation, we provide education about anatomy and pathology. Then we determine what interventions should be implemented to alleviate pain and restore range of motion, strength, and functional mobility through the spine. Treatment interventions typically include soft tissue and joint mobilization, dry needling, and exercises specific for each individual case.
The most common ankle/foot conditions we see and treat include:
- Ankle sprains
- Calf strains
- Achilles tendinitis
- Shin splints
- Osteoarthritis (OA)
- Bone spurs
- Plantar fasciitis
- Bunions
- Flat feet

As a gym goer and owner I’m working out a lot and going after my fitness goals hard. But that came with nagging neck and shoulder pain that just wouldn’t go away. I met with Dr Dave. He helped me rework my upper body routine to progressively increase the strength on lagging muscles that were causing the pain. Highly recommend these guys. They’re the best. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Dave!
I have a history of chronic low back pain even after a discectomy in my lumbar spine several years ago. I had tried PT in the past without much luck but opted to try again with someone new, and I'm so thankful I found TrueFix. I knew that the chronicity of my pain would take time to reverse, but after a few months my pain has SIGNIFICANTLY improved to a point I wasn't sure was even possible! Thank you!!
Dr. Dave was caring and thorough! I felt comfortable the entire visit. He made sure to check all areas relating to my pain and was able to pin point it and gave me exercises to help heal the area. I can truly say I no longer have an issue with this area! Dr. Dave has continued to check up on me! TrueFix loves their patients and wants the best for them!
I express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and treatment I received during shoulder rehabilitation at Dr. Dave's clinic. His expertise, dedication, and support significantly impacted my recovery. His personalized attention, friendly demeanor, and ability to create a positive atmosphere were remarkable. His motivation and belief in my abilities pushed me to surpass my expectations. I have significantly improved my shoulder mobility and strength and am grateful for his exceptional care.
Both therapists are great and adjust their plan to match what works best for you! In a short amount of time Dave helped me exceed any goals I had and I am now back to running/jumping after over 4yrs!
I would highly recommend Dave & Eric at TrueFix! Dr. Dave saw me on very short notice for a knee injury. He did a very thorough assessment and answered all of the questions I had. Dr. Dave then offered several stretches and exercises to help rehab and fix my knee. TruFix exceeded my expectations and I would definitely go back again!
I have been dealing with elbow pain for a number of months. Dr. McNeil (Dave) took time to listen to my concerns and then thoroughly examine me to make a diagnosis. He gave some immediate treatment that made an impact and provided clear directions on actions for me to take to build and improve my strength for future adventures. I would recommend anyone go and see Eric and Dave to help resolve any issues they need help to resolve.
TrueFix Physical Therapy is awesome! Definitely better than other clinics I’ve been to that do not feel personalized and you feel like just a number. David is very knowledgeable, caring, and creates a motivating environment that I am very comfortable in. He had me try new things I hadn’t experienced before with other PTs including dry needling which I really found effective! The space is also inviting and well equipped, I look forward to future visits with David and highly recommend him for your physical therapy needs.
TrueFix Physical Therapy is an amazing resource for anyone looking to regain the ability to live with out pain. Dave and Eric are excellent therapists and work in a way that actually solves your challenges. To get you back to doing what you enjoy, they build your strength in a balanced and meaningful way. The rehabilitation program I experienced with Dave, retaught me how to do necessary movements and exercises in the proper manner. Dave also challenged me each session to push myself toward my full potential. The name TrueFix, is perfectly suited for this business as they truly care about fixing whatever is holding you back from whatever you enjoy.
I highly recommend using Eric for your PT needs! He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to your concerns. He does a great job of giving you exercises that are achievable and easy to follow at home. I was experiencing pain from plantar fasciitis and was unable to run or workout anymore. I also experience neck, shoulder, and back pain from my career. Eric did dry needling treatments, spent an hour with me once a week and emailed me a step by step schedule to do at home (even had videos of each exercise). I am back to running and working out with no pain anymore. I am so happy with my results! I will continue to follow up with him quarterly to maintain my strength.
Dr. Vargas is such a great listener and was quickly able to pin point my shoulder impingement as well as a hip joint issue which is something that I had been living with for years and it was not getting better. From the first appointment, he diagnosed and explained what was going on and how to fix it. Through physical therapy and dry needling, he tracked my progress. My shoulder and hip are not only back to normal, but my strength is better than it has been for several years. His approach is customized for each person, and his way of explaining the issue, as well as the treatment options is exactly was I was looking for. He is a positive and encouraging Dr. and coach. You can tell that he believes in his patients and wants them to excel and overcome their particular issue. He went the extra mile to also help me outline future strength goals and the best way achieve them along with an exercise plan and diet tips. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vargas to anyone that is ready to take care of those aches and pains once and for all.
I've had a great experience working with Eric at Truefix Physical Therapy. He's incredibly knowledgeable about his work and also has a patient demeanor — it's very different than most PT experiences in that you'll get to spend your whole appointment working directly with him. He works hard to explain everything he's doing so you're informed as a patient and feel empowered to work once you leave his office.I came in for some general mobility issues and he was able to target the most critical areas for improvement for me (which turned out to be my hips). I saw noticeable improvement even in a week and six weeks later, I'm moving much better — I even hit a squat PR the other day, which I attribute solely to being more stable and mobile.Highly recommend TrueFix if you need a PT in the KC area.
