Chronic lateral ankle pain is recurring or chronic pain on the outside part of the ankle that often develops after an injury such as a sprained ankle.

Signs and symptoms include:

Ankle instability.
Difficulty walking on uneven ground or in high heels.
Pain, sometimes intense, on the outer side of the ankle.
Repeated ankle sprains.
Stiffness.
Swelling.
Tenderness.
Although ankle sprains are the most common cause of chronic lateral ankle pain, other causes may include:

A fracture in one of the bones that make up the ankle joint.
Arthritis of the ankle joint.
Inflammation of the joint lining.
Injury to the nerves that pass through the ankle. In this case, the nerves become stretched, torn, injured by a direct blow, or pinched under pressure.
Scar tissue in the ankle after a sprain. The scar tissue takes up space in the joint, putting pressure on the ligaments.
Torn or inflamed tendon.
Treatments for chronic lateral ankle pain include:

Over the counter or prescription anti-inflammatory medications to reduce swelling. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications.
Physical therapy, including tilt-board exercises that focus on strengthening the muscles, restoring range of motion, and increasing your perception of joint position.
Ankle braces or other supports.
Steroid medication.
Immobilization to allow the bone to heal (in cases of fractures).

KT Tape: Achilles Tendon Pain

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:59:51 +0000

Achilles Tendon Pain results from either acute inflammation of the Achilles tendon due to overuse and strain (Achilles Tendonitis) or a degenerating tendon (Achilles Tendonosis).

Common causes of Achilles Tendon pain is overuse without proper strength and flexibility conditioning. Common treatments are rest, icing, and in severe cases, surgery.

KT Tape provides support to the tendon aiding its recovery. KT tape users find that pain and inflammation arereduced when using the Achilles tendon taping technique.

Dr. Bill Metaxas discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Sprain Ankle.

SPRAINS
Injuries to the outside of the ankle associated with rolling of the foot are known as ankle sprains.
The ankle ligaments provide stability to the ankle by helping to hold the ankle bone within the ankle joint. The ankle ligaments usually involved in an ankle sprain are also known as the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle. The lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle are comprised of the anterior talofibular ligament, the calcaneofibular ligament and the posterior talofibular ligament.
The lateral ligaments provide stability to the ankle throughout the gait cycle as the foot bends up and down. Therefore total lateral stability of the ankle is provided by these three ligaments.
The most anterior (front) and most frequently injured of these ligaments is the anterior talofibular ligament. This ligament is intracapsular, or blended and contiguous with the lining of the anterior lateral aspect of the ankle capsule (joint). It can be seen as a fibrous thickening of the lining of the joint and courses from the front of the fibula to the front of the lateral surface of the talus.
The main function of the anterior talofibular ligament is the prevention of axial or rotational instability of the ankle. During gait as the heel is coming down, the foot is held in a dorsiflexed (up) position. Essentially the foot is pivoting on the edge of the heel only. Any irregularity in the ground, or laterally directed force, will cause the foot to twist in or out depending on the orientation of the force. Similarly, when we push off, the foot is in a plantar flexed (down) position. As the foot is plantar flexed, the position of the foot increases the long axis of the leg and increases the torque on the ankle region. Any ground irregularity or laterally directed force will cause the foot to twist in or out depending of the orientation of the force.
Classification of Injury
Rolling in of the foot (inversion), with the sole of the foot towards the opposite leg, is defined as a lateral ankle sprain. There are several classifications of this injury. A simple definition of injury breaks the injury down in terms of physiologic injury: sprain, strain or rupture which define the extent of stretching and A second classification of injury of the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle is known as Grades 1, 2, or 3. This classification describes the functional loss of the ankle and the resultant grade or level of injury.
The end result of injury of one or more of the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle is ankle instability. This instability can show up initially as a result of the severity of the injury or later as a result of chronic ankle instability.
During the moment of injury, due to the instability caused by the injury, movement and twisting of the Talus (ankle bone) in the ankle joint resulting in bone to bone compaction and twisting of other ligaments, tendons and nerves may occur. Injuries beyond the level of the ligaments themselves can occur and will occur depending of the level of injury. MRI, CT scans, bone scans and electro-diagnostic testing may be recommended to evaluate for these secondary injuries.
Chronic Ankle instability occurs much later than then original injury. Once the lateral collateral ankle ligaments are injured, they no longer provide the ability to stop ankle twisting and to hold the Talus within the ankle joint. As you walk or run with an unstable ankle, the talus can twist within the joint and partially come out of the joint. This movement is unnatural and abnormal and redirects force to the outside of the joint. With an increase in joint load to the outside, the foot will roll to the inside producing further tearing of the ligament and further injury.
Treatment
Conservative treatment for this condition depends on the necessity to stabilize the foot to restore the anatomical position of the ankle ligaments. The often noted RICE formula (rest, ice, compression elevation) is the standard initial treatment. Any treatment provided is to allow the ligaments to heal in the correct position and at the correct length. Depending on which ligaments are injured and to what degree the ligaments are injured, your doctor can provide you with the best ankle brace to stabilize your ankle.
Supplemental treatment for secondary injuries incurred at the time of injury will be diagnoses and treated at the same time as the treatment for the ankle ligaments.
Surgical Treatment
Surgical treatment of the ankle ligaments or associated injury conditions are performed when instability develops later or the injury is severe enough initially that stabilization must be done to allow for proper healing.

KT Tape: Ankle Stability

admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:03:50 +0000

This application can be used for a variety of ankle issues including ankle sprains, stretched ligaments, inflamed tendons, or general ankle weakness. The added support will give you the confidence and support during the rehabilitation phase of an injury as well as the stability and pain relief during activity.

Ankle injuries can happen a number of different ways. They can occur during an acute injury, or a sudden rolling or twisting of the ankle. These types of injuries generally involve great pain and swelling. Typically acute injuries are inversion ankle sprains wherein the foot rolls to the inside while stepping on an uneven surface such as a curb, hole, or root. The first strip applied will help to keep the foot everted and decrease your tendency to suffer another sprain. The second and third strips provide excellent proprioceptive stability.

Overuse or chronic ankle injuries occur overtime and are often the result of over training or training in poor conditions such as inappropriate footwear, uneven or dense surfaces, or simply too much too soon. These injuries are characterized by inflammation and are generally the result of other injuries. The stability provided by this application allows these inflamed tendons and ligaments to rest and avoid further injury.

Ankle instability or weakness can lead to chronic sprains and tearing of ligaments and tendons and lead to other injuries. Unlike traditional ankle braces, KT Tape provides support that is very comfortable and allows you to have a greater range of motion. This application also helps to provide support without limiting your range of motion or decreasing your blood flow.

Ankle Sprain Treatment – Podiatrist in Norwood, MA

More than 25,000 people sprain their ankles every day, according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society.

Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, often resulting in one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle to be stretched or torn. If not properly treated, ankle sprains could develop into long-term problems.

Treatment includes resting the ankle and applying ice to reduce swelling. Compressive bandages also may be used to immobilize and support the injury. More serious ankle sprains, particularly in competitive athletes, may require surgery to repair to tighten the ligaments.
