Common Causes of Ankle Pain
Ankle pain can arise from various conditions or injuries. Whether sudden or gradual, these issues can make it difficult to bear weight and limit your ability to move freely. At Midland and Freeland Sports Rehab, we provide expert physical therapy and chiropractic care to alleviate both acute and chronic ankle pain. Some of the most common causes of ankle pain include:
Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis occurs when tiny tears form in the Achilles tendon, often due to overuse or sudden strain. This condition can lead to inflammation and pain at the back of your ankle. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent the formation of scar tissue, which may require surgery if untreated.
Arthritis
Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can severely affect the ankle joints, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Arthritis can impact people of all ages, and early intervention is key to managing symptoms effectively.
Bursitis
Bursitis occurs when the tendons rub against the bursae (small fluid-filled sacs), causing irritation and pain. This condition is often associated with flat feet, which can lead to misalignment of the ankles and knees, resulting in discomfort and swelling.
Ankle Fractures
A fracture in one of the three ankle bones (tibia, fibula, or talus) can cause significant pain and require weeks of rest for proper healing. Midland Sports Rehab and Freeland Sports Rehab provide expert rehabilitation to ensure your ankle heals properly, preventing long-term issues.
Chronic Lateral Ankle Pain
Previous ankle injuries, if not healed correctly, can lead to chronic lateral ankle pain. This condition occurs when the ankle joint becomes unstable, causing persistent discomfort.
Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the ankles. If you suspect that lupus is the cause of your ankle pain, specialized care can help manage symptoms.
Sprained or Strained Ankle
Sprains and strains are among the most common causes of ankle pain. A sprain involves overstretching or tearing a ligament, while a strain occurs when muscles or tendons are overstretched. Both conditions require careful evaluation and treatment to avoid further damage.
