When something goes wrong with your ankles it can be painful and debilitating - you may experience pain, swelling, stiffness and even immobility. There are many factors that can cause ankle pain; arthritis, fractures, injury to your Achilles tendon, and bursitis to name a few. Even a simple sprained ankle, if not handled properly, can result in life-long problems.

While initial treatment may just include rest, ice and elevation, hiring the right physical therapist can be important for your recovery and rehabilitation. It’s important to seek treatment right away. If you don’t get the proper care, it could result in further damage up the leg and into the lower back creating complications. Rehabilitation exercises are key to ensure the ankle heals properly and that reinjury doesn’t occur.
