Ankle Pain Treatment at ARC Chiropractic
Ankle Pain Symptoms
Ankle pain can vary in intensity from mild discomfort to sharp, debilitating pain. Symptoms may include swelling, stiffness, bruising, and tenderness in the ankle area. You may also experience difficulty bearing weight or a reduced range of motion. In some cases, untreated ankle pain can lead to chronic instability or even further injury.
Causes of Ankle Pain
Ankle pain often results from sprains, strains, fractures, or conditions such as tendinitis or arthritis. Overuse, improper footwear, and sudden twists or impacts can also lead to injury. Chronic ankle pain may develop from an untreated injury or misalignment, causing repetitive strain on the joint and surrounding tissues. Additionally, poor biomechanics in the lower body can exacerbate the issue.
