Ankle pain can be caused by a wide variety of factors and various different injuries but ankle sprain is one of the most common injuries causing ankle pain.
Ankle sprain is usually caused by the ankle rolling over on its side turning the sole of the foot inward towards the other foot, often referred to as a rolled ankle. This can happen during sport, by tripping over something or anytime really where you take an awkward step. Other common causes of ankle pain include Achilles tendonitis and Flat feet.

Our podiatrist can provide treatment to relieve the pain in the ankle and can offer advice on preventative methods in future.
All of our Podiatrists are fully qualified with vast amount of clinical experience in the treatment of ankle injuries and ankle sprains. We will provide you with pain relief treatment, advice on strengthening exercises and our Podiatrists will look at the cause of your ankle pain to ensure there is no underlying biomechanical issue which needs to be resolved.
Treatment for ankle pain and ankle sprain usually focuses on reducing the swelling and pain first and once this has subsided our Podiatrist will focus on restoring the motion, flexibility and strength to the affected ankle.
Our Podiatrist may teach you a series of strengthening exercises to improve your ankle and reduce the chance of spraining it again. They may also prescribe orthotics to put in your shoes to give some extra support to your ankle and foot.
