It depends on the cause of the pain. But most pathologies are treatable.
This will depend on the cause of the pain. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for further evaluation
Generally excellent results for chronic ankle pain. Also a very good soak in specific herb formula. Depends on worse in hot or cold temperatures, other specifics.
Yes, chronic ankle joint pain can often be managed with a combination of conservative treatments like physical therapy, medication (including anti-inflammatory drugs), wearing supportive footwear, bracing, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, injections or surgerydepending on the severity and underlying cause of the pain; most people can find significant relief without needing surgery.

Yes, chronic ankle pain can be managed and or corrected, depending on what the original injury was caused by. Often times ankle injuries go ignored and we dont have them properly so they continue to persist long after they should.. if you want any more information in regards to your ankle, I would suggest that you seek out shockwave therapy radio pressure wave therapy from a provider in your area or class order tissue Laser to help with your recovery
Of course!
Chronic ankle pain is approached with a detailed history, exam and any past imaging and or new imaging if appropriate because the cause determines the treatment and future outcomes.
There are many modalities to help increase function and decrease chronic pain, they will differ by the cause, the individual and what their or in this case your goals are.
Chiropractic alignment of the whole body can relieve excessive stress on an ankle if it is indicated. Physical therapy, at home movements to regain range of motion are two more modalities. And looking at any nutritional deficiencies that may have prevented better healing, and a decrease of inflammation. This last piece, inflammation is the cause of pain, so when we can sleuth out what in the daily movement or lack there of, diet, nitrifying, presence of scar tissue, or other issues is contributing to the inflammation then a course of care either as self care or in office care is put together.
We have many more options for chronic pain now than ever before. I encourage you not to settle for chronic pain and seek knowledge and solutions so that you can have more freedom, flexibility, enjoyment and less pain.
I’m glad you are asking, it means you’re not accepting just living with the pain. Reach out to whatever provider feels like the best fit for you and take action. To All Our Health! Dr. Sharon
