If you have ankle pain, the chiropractors at Smith Family Chiropractic can help!

Ankles are extremely durable structures designed to carry the weight of the body. They are made up of a complex network of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles—all working together to provide stability and mobility.

Because ankles bear the brunt of your body weight and absorb a significant amount of the force generated during movement, they are particularly vulnerable to injury. When your foot is planted or slowed by contact with the ground, the ankle is responsible for absorbing and distributing most of the energy your body creates. This makes ankle injuries very common for people of all ages.

Some of the most common ankle injuries that cause pain include tendinitis, fractures, dislocations, broken ankles, arthritis, tendon ruptures, sprains, and strains.

While some mild ankle injuries can be treated at home with rest, ice, compression bandages, and elevation, there are times when professional care is necessary.

If you are unable to put weight on your foot, or if swelling does not improve after 2–3 days of home care, it’s best to have your ankle evaluated by the team at Smith Family Chiropractic in Austin, TX.
