Ankle Pain

Ankle pain can range from a minor annoyance to a debilitating condition, impacting your ability to walk, run, and participate in daily activities. Whether it’s due to a sudden injury or a chronic condition, getting an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment is crucial. At Dr. Patel Ortho Clinic, we specialize in comprehensive solutions for all forms of ankle pain, helping you regain stability, reduce discomfort, and get back on your feet.

  • Ankle Sprains: The most common cause, involving stretching or tearing of the ligaments supporting the ankle.

  • Fractures: Breaks in one or more bones of the ankle (tibia, fibula, or talus).

  • Achilles Tendonitis/Rupture: Inflammation or tearing of the Achilles tendon, connecting calf muscles to the heel bone.

  • Accurate Diagnosis:

    • Thorough physical examination and detailed medical history.

    • Advanced imaging techniques including Digital X-rays, MRI, and CT scans to visualize the extent of injury or degeneration.

  • Non-Surgical Treatments:

    • Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation (RICE): Guided protocols for immediate injury management.

    • Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation: Targeted exercises to strengthen muscles, improve balance, increase range of motion, and prevent future injuries.

    • Bracing & Orthotics: Custom or off-the-shelf ankle braces and shoe inserts to provide support and stability.

    • Medication Management: Anti-inflammatory drugs or pain relievers to manage symptoms.

    • Injections: Corticosteroid or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

  • Surgical Options (When Indicated):

    • For severe injuries, chronic instability, or conditions unresponsive to conservative treatment, we offer precise surgical interventions:

      • Ankle Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery to diagnose and treat conditions inside the joint.

      • Ligament Reconstruction/Repair: For chronic ankle instability.

      • Fracture Repair: Surgical stabilization of broken ankle bones.

      • Tendon Repair: For torn or severely damaged tendons.

      • Ankle Fusion or Replacement: For severe arthritis.
