Common Causes of Ankle Sprains and Injuries
Ankle injuries can happen to anyone, and some common causes include:
- Twisting or Rolling the Ankle: This can happen when walking on uneven surfaces, stepping off a curb, or during sports.
- Overuse: Repeated stress on the ankle joint, often from running or other high-impact activities, can cause pain and injury over time.
- Weak Ankles or Poor Balance: Weak muscles around the ankle or poor balance can make you more prone to sprains and other injuries.
At Physical Therapy Upper West Side, Dr. Singh starts with a comprehensive assessment to determine the cause and severity of your injury. This allows him to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Proven Techniques for Ankle Injury Recovery
Dr. Singh uses a range of proven techniques to help patients recover from ankle injuries. What should be expected throughout your treatment is as follows:
- Therapeutic Exercises: Strengthening and flexibility exercises are crucial for building up the muscles around the ankle and improving balance. These exercises not only aid in recovery but also help prevent future injuries by making your ankle more resilient.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization and soft tissue massage can help reduce pain and improve the range of motion in your ankle. These therapies also promote circulation, which is essential for healing.
- Balance and Stability Training: After an ankle injury, your balance may be compromised. Dr. Singh focuses on improving your stability through targeted exercises, helping you regain confidence in your movements.
Education on Proper Footwear and Movements: Dr. Singh also provides guidance on how to protect your ankles in everyday life, including advice on proper footwear and how to move safely to avoid re-injury.
