Are you experiencing any of these ankle symptoms?
Ankle pain can occur suddenly, such as after a misstep or twist, or it can come on gradually due to an overuse, for example. The discomfort you experience can range from mild irritation to significant limitations in your daily routine and sports activities.
We are happy to guide you through a variety of ankle problems, including:
- A sprained ankle or persistent instability
- Achilles tendon complaints (tendinopathies)
- Heel spur or inflammation of the tendon plate under the foot
- Shin splints / Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS)
- Osteoarthritis in the ankle joint
- Complaints after an ankle fracture or surgery
Possible causes of your ankle pain
Ankle problems often result from a combination of factors. We carefully examine what exactly is the cause in your case. Possible causes are:
- One-time trauma, such as a fall or contortion
- Prolonged overexertion, such as from intense sports
- A less efficient movement pattern
- Reduced muscle strength or coordination around the ankle joint
- Reduced flexibility or mobility of the ankle
- Inadequate or incomplete recovery from a previous injury
- Osteoarthritis
Our approach to hip pain
At Sento Medical, we always start with a comprehensive 50-minute intake. Here we take the time for your story and perform a thorough physical examination. Among other things, we analyze the mobility, strength, proprioception and stability of your ankle.
Based on this, we create a personalized treatment plan. This plan usually consists of an effective combination of:
- Manual therapy to optimize the mobility of your ankle
- Specific exercise therapy focused on muscle strength, stability and coordination
- Training for strength, balance and proprioception to make your ankle more resilient
- Gait and movement analysis to optimize your patterns
- Practical advice on footwear, load and activity adjustment
- Exercises via our Physitrack app (at no extra cost!)
Our ultimate goal is for you to regain full confidence in your ankle and resume your favorite activities without hindrance.
