Common Types and Causes of Ankle Pain
Ankles are one of the most durable joints in your body because they carry the weight of your body and they also utilize a wide range of motion, particularly when you walk, jog, or run. When an ankle injury happens or you experience ankle pain it can be caused by a variety of things including:
- Tendinitis
- A Bone Fracture
- Broken Ankle
- Tendon Rupture
- Arthritis
- Sprains or Strains
Because the ankle is designed to absorb the majority of energy and motion in the body, it is a very common part of the body to experience pain. Also because of the nature of ankle pain, any implication of discomfort or tension should be evaluated by a chiropractor trained in understanding complex structures of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles in the ankle.
If your ankle is injured in a car accident, often times we will use diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or MRI’s to see the full extent of your injuries. This will help us to address the cause of your pain and empower you to have the best recovery possible.
How Can Ankle Pain Affect Your Life?
Short Term Impact of Ankle Pain
Short term ankle pain can cause you to slow down from your regular activities, limit your ability to participate in exercise or sports, and can overall just be annoying. While some short term pain can be treated at home through rest, compression, elevation, and ice. If you are having pain longer than a few days we encourage you to get it evaluated by one of our Axcess chiropractors.
Long Term Impact of Ankle Pain
When you experience ankle pain or swelling for a long time it can significantly impact your quality of life. Long term ankle pain can also be an indication of a more severe injury. When there are bones that are out of alignment for extended periods of time it can put unnecessary stress and tension on surrounding connective tissues, and nerves. Long periods of pain can also lead to a higher risk of developing diseases, and chronic ankle pain.
Lasting Relief From Pain or Discomfort
Chiropractic Care Focused on Bringing You Lasting Relief from Ankle Pain
Oftentimes, when you injure your ankle, swelling is a sign of a deeper problem. So if it has been 2-3 days and it is still swollen, it is best to have it examined by a qualified chiropractor.
