Ankle injuries

Poor biomechanics (mechanical body movement) of the ankles or feet can cause pain or injury in another area of the body, such as knees, hip or lower back.

Good biomechanics of the lower extremities (the part of the body from your hip to your toes) is crucial for a healthy skeletal system. Ankles and feet are very often overlooked during assessment, causing a delay in the recovery process. This can be very frustrating for the patient.

We make sure that issues such as overpronating heels (flat feet) and stiff ankles are addressed during the course of the treatment. In many cases, gait analysis or a podiatrist assessment, should be an integral part of the assessment and recovery process for patients suffering from lower limb injuries.

Listed here are some problems that can affect your feet or ankles:

• Achilles tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Sprained ankle
