Lateral Ankle Pain Treatment (Sinus Tarsi Syndrome)

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome results in pain on the outside of the ankle and is often caused by instability or previous ankle injuries. Treatment at Body Works Physiotherapy focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring stability through targeted exercises, and manual therapy to alleviate pain and prevent future issues.

Os Trigonum Syndrome Treatment

Os Trigonum Syndrome, characterized by pain at the back of the ankle, typically affects athletes and dancers. Our approach includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), alongside specific exercises and possibly immobilization to reduce symptoms and enhance healing.

Ankle Instability Treatment

Chronic ankle instability can lead to frequent sprains and feelings of the ankle “giving way.” Body Works Physiotherapy’s treatment plan includes strengthening and balance exercises, proprioceptive training, and potentially bracing to support the ankle and improve function.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome causes pain along the inside of the ankle due to nerve compression. Our tailored treatments may involve physiotherapy exercises designed to relieve pressure on the nerve and alleviate symptoms.

Ankle Arthritis Treatment

Ankle arthritis leads to joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. At Body Works Physiotherapy, we offer a range of treatments including physiotherapy exercises to improve range of motion and strength, manual therapy for joint mobilization, and education on lifestyle modifications to manage pain and improve quality of life.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction Treatment (PTTD)

PTTD is a condition that can cause flattening of the foot and ankle pain. Treatment strategies focus on supporting the arch of the foot with orthotics, strengthening exercises for the posterior tibial tendon, and reducing inflammation through various modalities.

Ankle Impingement Treatment

Ankle impingement, whether anterior or posterior, involves pain during movement due to tissue or bone in the ankle joint. Body Works Physiotherapy’s treatment includes activity modification, exercises to improve mobility and strength, and manual therapy techniques to address the impingement directly.

Peroneal Tendinopathy Treatment

Peroneal tendinopathy involves pain and swelling in the tendons running alongside the outer ankle bone. Our clinic’s treatment plan emphasizes targeted exercises to strengthen the peroneal tendons, manual therapy to promote tendon healing, and advice on activity adjustments to prevent aggravation.

Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

Achilles tendinitis is a common injury causing pain along the back of the leg near the heel. Our comprehensive treatment approach includes eccentric strengthening exercises for the calf muscles, stretching, and sometimes orthotic support to reduce strain on the Achilles tendon and facilitate recovery.

Ankle Sprain Treatment

Ankle sprains range from mild to severe and are among the most common ankle injuries. Treatment at Body Works Physiotherapy focuses on the RICE method initially, followed by rehabilitation exercises to restore ankle stability, flexibility, and strength, ensuring a full return to pre-injury activities.

Ankle Pain Treatment Scarborough FAQs

What Can I Do at Home to Relieve Ankle Pain?

At home, maintaining ankle health and potentially relieving pain starts with gentle stretching and strengthening exercises tailored to your specific condition. Applying ice for 15-20 minutes several times a day can reduce swelling and pain. Keeping the ankle elevated above heart level also helps minimize swelling. It’s important to wear supportive footwear that stabilizes the ankle and reduces pressure on painful areas. However, these measures should complement, not replace, professional treatment from Body Works Physiotherapy.

How Long Does It Typically Take to Recover from Ankle Pain?

Recovery time from ankle pain varies widely depending on the underlying cause, severity of the condition, and the individual’s adherence to their treatment plan. Minor sprains may heal within a few weeks, while more severe conditions like tendonitis or osteoarthritis may require several months of consistent treatment. Each individual’s recovery journey is unique, and our team at Body Works Physiotherapy works closely with clients to set realistic expectations and provide personalized care throughout their recovery.

Can Physiotherapy Prevent Future Ankle Pain?

Yes, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in not only treating existing ankle pain but also preventing future issues. Through a combination of targeted exercises, strength training, and education on proper foot and ankle care, individuals can improve their ankle stability, flexibility, and overall joint health. Our physiotherapists at Body Works Physiotherapy are committed to empowering clients with the knowledge and tools needed to maintain healthy ankles and prevent recurrences.

What Lifestyle Changes Can Help Manage Ankle Pain?

Lifestyle changes that can help manage ankle pain include maintaining a healthy weight to reduce stress on the ankle joints, engaging in low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling to keep the joints moving without excessive strain, and practicing good posture and body mechanics during daily activities. Avoiding activities that put unnecessary stress on the ankles is also crucial. Our team at Body Works Physiotherapy provides personalized advice on lifestyle modifications that can support your treatment plan and improve your overall joint health.
