At the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona, we have extensive experience treating ankle pain stemming from a variety of underlying causes, including:
One of the most common culprits, ankle sprains occur when the ligaments stabilizing the joint are stretched or torn, often due to rolling or twisting the ankle.
Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other arthritic conditions can cause chronic ankle joint inflammation and pain, reducing mobility.
This overuse injury involves inflammation of the Achilles tendon which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It often causes pain outside the ankle.
The peroneal tendons run along the outside of the ankle and can become inflamed, resulting in lateral (outside) ankle pain.
Strain on the posterior tibial tendon on the inside of the ankle leads to pain along the arch and instability. This condition requires prompt inside ankle pain treatment.
Ankle bones can break from injuries like falls, car accidents or severe sprains/twists, causing anterior (front) ankle pain.
Inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis often affect the ankle and foot joints, resulting in pain, swelling and stiffness.
