Ankle-Joint Pain
When ankle-joint pain prevents you from running and playing sports or makes walking and working difficult, don’t let it affect your quality of life any further, seek specialist help from a trained and qualified health practitioner. At Northbridge Chiropractic in Perth, we provide safe and effective chiropractic adjustments and muscle therapies to treat the cause of your ankle-joint pain, alleviate the pain and get you back up and moving again.
Common Ankle-Joint Injury Causes
Ankle injuries are very common in people of all ages, from children through to seniors and can be caused by injuries, medical conditions and diseases. Injuries and sprains to one or more of the numerous ankle bones, ligaments and tendons are the most common causes of ankle-joint pain, with athletes and sportspeople that engage in high-impact sports and training the most commonly affected.
Along with ankle injuries and sprains, there are several types of arthritis which can cause ankle pain in older people, while plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, Achilles strains, heel pain and bunions can affect anyone of any age, regardless of their health or lifestyle.
As the bones of the feet may shift out of alignment during an ankle-joint sprain, causing a misalignment that can result in further damage and injuries, immediate treatment (RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation) followed by professional assessment and diagnosis is vital. As a treatment method, a variety of chiropractic adjustments are effective and safe ways to treat ankle-joint pain and prevent further damage to bones, tendons and muscles in the ankle and foot.
