Ankle Pain Diagnosis & Treatment Options

There may be several reasons that you are suffering from ankle pain. A Norridge podiatrist will need to assess the circumstances and possibly take an x-ray to determine the cause of the problem. Some of the reasons for pain could include the use of improper or unsupportive footwear, overuse or taxing your ankles, a fall or slip and even genetics. The nature of the pain and how long it has been bothering you are important facts when discussing the problem with your podiatrist. There are several treatments that might be a good fit for your situation including regular icing, exercises and in some cases surgery to correct a long-term problem. Once you have met with the professional you will be able to better make the right choice for you.
