Common Ankle Conditions:

Ankle Arthritis : Arthritis that develops in your ankle, usually is a result of having prior injuries to the ankle joint. For example, individuals who have sustained fracture, dislocations and / or sprains may develop accelerated arthritis because the joint and cartilage may already be compromised. People may also have challenges later on in their life because of normal wear and tear (Aka : degeneration) over time. Degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis) refers to inflammation of any joint due to wear and tear.

Ankle Sprains : Ankle Sprains are unfortunately very common injuries. Would you believe that approximately 175,000 people experience it each week!?. A sprained ankle can happen to anyone. Usually it happens when you roll your ankle to the outside and weight is applied to your ankle joint.
