Ankle Pain Treatment Burwood North

Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre proudly offer quality ankle pain treatment to residents in Burwood North 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. It’s important to treat ankle injuries as quickly as possible to avoid long term consequences.

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.

Treatment

The most effective ankle treatment involves a combination of hands on treatment and exercises prescribed by your podiatrist. Physical treatments will restore normal motion of the joint, and loosen tense muscles around the ankle. Furthermore, your rehabilitation exercises are designed to quicken your recovery, and build strength to prevent further injury.

Your physiotherapists‘ treatment plan is tailored to your history, injury and physical goals. Regardless of your ankle pain’s cause- surgery, injury or other causes, your podiatrist will provide you with the treatment and long term solutions for recovery.
