Our ankle treatment plans in Prairie Village can treat many ankle issues

Our team offers ankle treatment plans in our Prairie Village clinic that can help with many different ankle problems. One reason these plans offer such effective treatment is they take into account the complexity of your ankle.

The ankle is one of the most complex and important structures in your body. After all, you couldn’t walk, run or jump as well without them. Your ankle is made up of three bones, four major ligaments and four major muscles. All these structures form two joints that are critical to foot movement.

The first joint in your ankle is called the inferior tibiofibular joint, and this joint is what allows you to move your foot up and down. The second joint you have in your ankle is known as the talocrural joint. This joint is what allows your feet to twist toward and away from each other.

Thanks in large part to this complexity, there are many ways you can injure your ankle. For example, the bones of your ankle can be broken. You can also tear or strain the ligaments in your ankle and ankle muscle sprains and tears are also possible. Any of these injuries can result from factors like car accidents, sports injuries or repetitive motions like walking or running.

Even though the list of potential ankle injuries is long, our SSOR team offers ankle treatment plans that can help you treat almost any ankle injury. We can build you a personalized treatment plan to tackle ankle issues that may include:

• Massage therapy
• Targeted stretches
• Strengthening and mobility exercises
