Ankle Pain

Ankle pain can be a very debilitating issue. It can range from a minor ache to a more chronic, nagging discomfort. Ankle pain can have a number of different causes such as sprains, Achilles tendonitis, pinched nerves and joint inflammation due to arthritis or gout.

Ankle injuries are commonly caused by participating in sports that require sudden direction changes, such as football. If your ankle pain is persistent or severe it is important to consult with a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment options.

Home treatments may help alleviate some of the discomfort associated with milder forms of ankle pains in the short term but seeking professional care should always be done when dealing with any serious foot or ankle condition.
