Ankle Sprain & Foot Pain Treatment
Common Causes of Ankle and Foot Pain
Ankle sprains often happen during physical activities where you might twist or roll your ankle. However, even everyday movements can lead to sprains if you step awkwardly. Foot pain, on the other hand, can stem from conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, or improper footwear. Each of these issues can create discomfort that affects mobility.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic adjustments can realign misaligned bones in the foot and ankle, reducing pain and promoting healing. For those with chronic foot pain, we also offer custom orthotics designed to support your specific foot shape and address issues like overpronation or flat arches.
Orthotics help balance the foot, reducing strain on your ankles and knees. Using orthotics is especially important for people with flat or high arches, as well as those who frequently experience foot, ankle, or knee pain from improper support.
Immediate Care for an Ankle Sprain
In the first 48 hours after an ankle sprain, it’s essential to minimize movement and reduce swelling. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) are ideal for reducing initial discomfort. Once the pain has decreased and the ankle is no longer swollen, chiropractic adjustments can support full recovery, helping restore mobility and stability.
It’s also important to avoid wearing flip-flops or unsupported shoes. That’s because they can increase the risk of misalignment, especially if you have flat or high arches.
