Ankle and foot injuries are very common and are often under treated. The ankle and foot are the first areas of the body that are affected as we walk or run. The ankle is also inherently less stable than many other joints because it is very mobile. There are many structures that may be injured in the ankle such as ligaments, muscles, tendons, nerves, and bones. Identifying the injured tissue and following an appropriate plan of care is crucial to prevent future injury. The original cause of injury also needs to be identified. Preexisting instability or lack of range of motion will predispose the ankle to injury and needs to be correctly identified.
