What Are Ankle Conditions?
Your ankles play a crucial role in your mobility, providing balance, shock absorption, and support when you're walking, running, or participating in any athletic activities. An injured ankle can severely compromise your ability to move, affecting your daily routine and sapping your enjoyment of your favorite hobbies. Some of the most common issues that affect the ankles include sprains and instability, both of which may require professional care if they occur often or are especially severe. At Agape Foot Care, we treat ankle injuries and other podiatric disorders to help our patients get back to living their lives. If you're prone to ankle sprains or instability, schedule a consultation and exam with our podiatrists in Waxahachie, Kaufman, or Garland, TX to receive the care you need.
How Do You Treat Ankle Sprains and Instability?
The details of your ankle treatment at Agape Foot Care will depend on the extent of your injury and any related conditions you might have. Minor ankle injuries usually heal on their own with rest, ice, and compression. For more severe sprains, we may take x-rays or other imaging tests to get a more comprehensive picture of your foot and ankle. In cases where a ligament has been injured, we may have to perform surgery to repair the tissues and restore mobility. Ankle instability is typically managed with physical therapy and braces to support the joint. Each person's case is unique, which is why it's crucial to receive a diagnosis and personalized treatment.
What Are the Symptoms of An Ankle Condition?
Ankle sprains and instability present many of the same symptoms. Some symptoms that might indicate an ankle injury include:
- Pain or tenderness in the joint
- Swelling
- Bruising around the injury (for more severe cases)
- Limited mobility in the joint
