Ankle Pain Treatment Balmain

Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre proudly offer quality ankle pain treatment to residents in Balmain and surrounding suburbs.

Ankle injuries are incredibly common in all age brackets, and have a variety of causes including sports, work, exercise and everyday injuries. Sports such as basketball and skiing make players more susceptible to ankle injury. Everyday activities such as rolling an ankle on an uneven footpath can cause the development of an ankle injury.

Ankle injuries are treated by podiatrists using a range of techniques to decrease pain and increase mobility. When dealing with ankle injuries, it is vital that they are treated promptly to prevent unnecessary strain on the joint that could develop into a long term problem.

Your ankle’s muscles and tendons control the way you move and are stabilised on your feet. If you experience pain or have difficulty moving the ankle joint, it is important that you seek treatment from a healthcare professional.

Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre offer quality physio care for ankle pain and injuries.

Causes

Ankle pain is caused by a number of factors including damage to muscle, tendon, bone and ligaments. It’s important to diagnose your exact condition promptly to avoid further damage.

Muscle weakness in the ankle can cause ligaments to stretch and strain. Another type of ankle injury is a fracture or break. The recovery from a break or fracture can be effectively treated by a podiatrist.
