Ankle Pain

|
Ankle pain is usually derived by trauma (injury) to the ankle (ie: sprain). It can also be due to other factors such as poor footwear (ie: high heels), poor proprioception (reactions to changes in the surfaces you are walking on), excess movement in the ankle joint and muscle weakness and degeneration. Your podiatrist will assess the cause of your ankle pain and proceed with treatment accordingly. Some forms of treatment for ankle pain are orthotic therapy, referral for physiotherapy, footwear assessment, strapping and surgery in severe cases.
