Ankle Pain

Whether acute or chronic in nature, Podiatrists are often the first step in the management of ankle pain. Injury may occur at the ankle ligaments, ankle joint or even the tendons that cross the ankle into the foot.

Ankle pain describes pain affecting the area in and around the joint between the foot and the leg. An ankle sprain may cause ankle pain, but pain can also be associated with other causes. Damage to bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and muscles can occur over time or with a direct injury.

Ankle tendon injuries of the ankle include:

– Achilles tendinopathy
– Tibialis posterior tendinopathy
– Peroneal tendinopathy
– Ankle Sprains
