Ankle

Foot Pain: Foot pain can result from various conditions affecting the ankle and surrounding structures, such as ligament sprains, fractures, tendonitis, or arthritis. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include rest, ice, supportive footwear, physical therapy, or orthotics to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Sprain: Ankle sprains are among the most common sports injuries, occurring when the ligaments supporting the ankle are stretched or torn due to sudden twisting or rolling movements. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and instability. Treatment involves rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), ankle bracing or taping, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity.

Fractures: Ankle fractures can occur in the bones of the ankle joint, including the tibia, fibula, or talus, due to trauma or falls. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected ankle. Treatment may involve casting, splinting, or surgery to realign the bones and promote healing.
