Ankle Pain
There are many different structures that can give rise to ankle pain. The most common injuries we see are:
- Lateral ligament sprains – pain on the outside of the ankle joint often following an incident of inversion or “going over the ankle” either recently or in the past. There may be swelling and significant bruising if acute. Physiotherapy can promote the healing of the ligament decreasing pain as well as addressing any muscle strength or gait problems.
- Tendonitis – overuse injury particularly of the peroneal tendons on the outside of the ankle. This may be caused by acute or chronic overloading of the tendons. Pain is often located around the outside of the ankle which is worse during or after exercise. A thorough assessment of the biomechanics of the lower limb may indicate the reason for this overuse.
- Post fracture. Ankles can be stiff and painful following fractures. Physiotherapy can help alleviate the pain as well as increase movement and help you on your return to full fitness.
