Ankles carry the weight of your body with every step, jump, and turn. Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend jogger, or simply moving through daily life, ankle injuries are among the most common musculoskeletal problems. They can range from mild sprains to more serious ligament or tendon damage, often leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Common Causes of Ankle Injuries
Sudden twists or turns – Common in sports like football, basketball, or pickleball.
Uneven surfaces – Stepping awkwardly on stairs, curbs, or rocky ground.
Overuse – Repetitive strain from running, training, or long hours standing.
Weak or unstable ankles – Previous injuries can make ankles more prone to re-injury.
Common Ankle Conditions
Sprains and Strains: Stretching or tearing of ligaments and muscles around the ankle.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons caused by overuse.
Swelling and Inflammation: Often the body’s natural response to injury.
Arthritis or Instability: Chronic conditions that cause stiffness or weakness.
Prevention and Recovery
Protecting your ankles involves staying active, using proper footwear, and avoiding overstrain. Just as important, body support that provide compression and stability, helping to ease pain, reduce swelling, and give extra protection during movement or recovery.
