There can be many causes leading to ankle pain. Some can be traumatic like falls that can lead to sprains, tears, and fractures. Others can be a misalignment or imbalance causing excessive stress on the joints of the foot and ankle.
What can be done about Ankle Pain?
The first and most important part is to get the ankle examined right away. A sprain, tear, fracture, or joint problem can easily become worse and cause further damage the more you continue to walk on it. Once your Chiropractor has examined the ankle to determine what type of injury you have, your doctor will discuss treatment options with you.
How can Chiropractic help with Ankle Pain?
Chiropractors treat ankle pain through specific gentle adjustments to the ankle and surrounding joints. These adjustments help correct the imbalances and misalignments that are often the cause of ankle pain. In cases where there is more traumatic damage the chiropractor can comanage the injury with other providers to ensure that the short term injury does not become a chronic lifelong injury.
Will I need X rays?
In some cases the Chiropractor will recommend X-rays while in others the doctor may recommend 2 weeks of conservative treatment before recommending any further imaging.
