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.
When the muscles surrounding the ankle are weak, your ligaments are not protected, will stretch and could result in a sprain or ligament rupture. 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. It’s important to loosen tight muscles and strengthen weak ones when treating ankle anjuries.
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.
