Ankle Pain

If you are suffering from ankle pain, one of the most important questions to answer is: where does your ankle hurt? The location of the ankle pain provides key information to help diagnose the problem. Pain along the inside of the ankle may indicate an eversion ankle sprain, fracture, tibial posterior tendonitis, or tarsal tunnel syndrome. Pain along the outside of the ankle could mean that you have a sprain, sinus tarsi syndrome, peroneal tendonitis, or a peroneal tendon dislocation. Pain at the front of the ankle is often a symptom of tibialis anterior tendonitis or ankle impingement. Pain at the back of the ankle might indicate an Achilles tendon injury, bursitis, or Sever’s disease. A podiatrist can examine your injured ankle, determine the cause of your pain, and find the right treatment for you.

Ankle pain can have many different causes and the pain may potentially be serious. If you have ankle pain, consult with Dr. Sherman Nagler with Nagler Foot Center. Our doctors will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment.
