Ankle Pain
Orthotic bracing and compression support garments that are professionally fitted have been shown to increase stability, strengthen muscles, and prevent future injuries.
Chronic lateral ankle pain is a persistent discomfort experienced on the outer side of the ankle and often arises as a result of an injury. The injury usually occurs when you unintentionally twist or bend your ankle in an awkward manner, causing the ligaments on the outer part of your ankle to stretch or tear.
Our team of experts provides thorough assessments accompanied by a streamlined treatment plan, ensuring that you can quickly restore your well-being and active lifestyle with minimal interruption.
