Ankle Pain
Non-Surgical Options For Ankle Pain Care
Ankle Pain
If you have a medical history that includes chronic ankle sprain and instability and/or one or more arthroscopic procedures, typically you will be looking for options to surgery. These surgeries may include ligament repair, an ankle fusion, or a total ankle replacement.
In our over 25 years of helping people with ankle pain and instability, we have seen many patients with a diagnosis of:
Chronic ankle sprains and instability
Ankle and hindfoot disorders
Post-traumatic ankle injury.
Ankle ligament damage.
Achilles and ankle tendon weakness.
Many people we see have failed conservative care.
For some people, conservative care options can be very successful. For others these treatment’s effectiveness may have worn off if they were effective at all.
Painkiller prescriptions
Daily anti-inflammatory usage
Physical therapy
Botox injection
Hyaluronic acid injection
Various ankle braces, tapes, sleeves and boots
These treatments continue to be prescribed until eventually an MRI will reveal enough damage to recommend a surgery.
Options For Ankle Pain
While there are many claims made about the effectiveness of regenerative medicine approaches, a custom rehabilitation program and expectation of treatment outcomes can help patients understand the realistic chances of seeing improvement. Many people who seek regenerative medicine have already been advised to consider surgery. For some of these people surgery will be very effective. But, as with any medical treatment, surgery can have its undesired effects. Even successful surgery can require months of physical therapy and diminished function.
