Ankle Pain

August 28, 2012 by surekha Leave a Comment

Ankle is the place where the legs and foot meet and has complicated network of ligaments, tissues and bones. The entire weight of the body is to be borne by the ankle and hence it is subjected to frequent pain. The ankle pain can be inside or outside the ankle or in the muscles of lower legs. The pain can be from mild to severe and many times, the pain can be treated by home remedy.

Some of the possible causes for ankle pain are gout, Achilles tendinitis, broken angle, osteoarthritis, and sprain in the ankle, mild fracture in the legs, septic arthritis and fractures due to stress.

The common symptoms of ankle pain are mild to moderate pain in the lower legs, swelling in the ankle and difficulty in walking and moving the leg muscles.

Wearing orthotics can improve the functions of ankle by giving stability to the bones and muscles of lower limb. Orthotics is a substance that is specially designed to repair the biomechanics of the ankle and the foot junction and is usually inserted into the shoes. There may be cases in which the foot elongates which may result in stretching of tendons and tissues of the ankle inside. By wearing orthotics the growth of tendons are controlled and balanced. It also helps to re-align the limb by correcting the abnormal growth of tendons. It also helps in reducing the pressure of ankle joint, thereby preventing erosion of the cartilage tissues.

You can visit the physiotherapist for doing regular exercises for correcting ankle pain.
