Dealing with ankle pain can hinder your movements and impact your daily life, making even simple activities a challenge. Here at Boost Physiotherapy in Edmonton, we are dedicated to identifying and addressing various ankle issues with tailored and advanced treatment plans. Our team of skilled physiotherapists is committed to assisting you in your recovery journey, utilizing evidence-based methods to ensure a stronger and more confident return to your normal activities.
Treatment for Outer Ankle Pain (Sinus Tarsi Syndrome)
Sinus Tarsi Syndrome, which causes discomfort on the exterior of the ankle, is often linked to instability or past ankle injuries. Our approach at Boost Physiotherapy focuses on minimizing inflammation, enhancing stability through specific exercises, and providing manual therapy to relieve pain and prevent future complications.
Addressing Os Trigonum Syndrome
Os Trigonum Syndrome, characterized by pain at the rear of the ankle and commonly affecting athletes and dancers, is managed through rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Our treatment plan also includes targeted exercises and potential immobilization to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
Combatting Ankle Instability
Dealing with chronic ankle instability that results in frequent sprains and feelings of instability requires a comprehensive approach. Boost Physiotherapy’s treatment includes exercises to strengthen and improve balance, proprioceptive training, and possibly bracing to enhance ankle support and functionality.
Effective Relief for Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, causing discomfort along the inner ankle due to nerve compression, is effectively managed through physiotherapy exercises designed to alleviate nerve pressure and reduce symptoms.
Managing Ankle Arthritis
Ankle arthritis, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, can be addressed through various treatments at Boost Physiotherapy. These treatments include exercises to enhance mobility and strength, manual therapy for joint mobilization, and guidance on lifestyle adjustments to manage pain and enhance overall well-being.
Strategies for Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)
PTTD, a condition that can lead to foot flattening and ankle discomfort, is managed through arch support with orthotics, exercises to strengthen the posterior tibial tendon, and reducing inflammation through different modalities.
Relief from Ankle Impingement
Ankle impingement, whether anterior or posterior, causing pain during movement due to tissue or bone in the ankle joint, can be addressed through activity modifications, exercises to enhance mobility and strength, and manual therapy techniques to directly tackle the impingement.
Treating Peroneal Tendinopathy
Peroneal tendinopathy, characterized by pain and swelling in the tendons alongside the outer ankle bone, is managed through targeted exercises to strengthen the tendons, manual therapy to promote healing, and recommendations on activity adjustments to prevent aggravation.
Comprehensive Care for Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis, a common injury causing discomfort along the back of the leg near the heel, can be effectively managed through comprehensive treatment at Boost Physiotherapy. This treatment includes eccentric strengthening exercises for the calf muscles, stretching, and potential orthotic support to reduce strain on the Achilles tendon and aid in recovery.
Recovering from Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains, varying from mild to severe and being among the most common ankle injuries, are treated at Boost Physiotherapy with the RICE method initially, followed by rehabilitation exercises to restore ankle stability, flexibility, and strength, ensuring a full return to pre-injury activities.
