Understanding Ankle Pain Together
Ankle pain can stem from a variety of causes, including sprains, fractures, arthritis, or overuse. Whether it's from an acute injury, repetitive strain, or a chronic condition, ankle pain can significantly impact your ability to move, exercise, and carry out everyday activities. Addressing ankle pain early is essential to ensure full recovery and prevent further issues.
Common Ankle Conditions
Ankle Sprains - The most common ankle injury, often caused by twisting or rolling the ankle, leading to ligament damage.
Achilles Tendonitis - Inflammation of the tendon at the back of the ankle, often caused by repetitive stress, especially in athletes.
Ankle Fractures - Breaks or cracks in the bones of the ankle joint, often requiring immobilization and rehabilitation to restore function.
Plantar Fasciitis - Inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot, causing pain in the heel and sometimes affecting the ankle.
Arthritis - Degeneration of the ankle joint, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.
