Ankle pain varies significantly in type, location, and severity. Understanding the nature of your specific ankle pain is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Your ankle is a complex joint consisting of bones (tibia, fibula, and talus), ligaments, tendons, and muscles. The most common ankle injuries occur to the lateral (outer) ligaments, particularly during twisting movements. The ankle also includes important tendons like the Achilles tendon and peroneal tendons, which are prone to overuse injuries.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's ligaments, tendons, joints, or surrounding tissues. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, functional movement analysis, and when necessary, imaging studies to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Ankle anatomy and common injury areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of ankle pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
The most common ankle injury, occurring when ligaments are stretched or torn. Usually happens when the ankle rolls, twists, or turns awkwardly.
Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, often caused by overuse or sudden increase in physical activity. Common in runners and athletes.
Degeneration of the ankle joint cartilage, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Can be due to aging, previous injuries, or inflammatory conditions.
Inflammation of the tendons running along the outer ankle, common in runners and those with high arches. Causes pain along the outer ankle and foot.
Compression of soft tissues in the ankle joint, causing pain and restricted movement. Common in dancers, footballers, and gymnasts.
Many ankle conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.

Start Your Recovery JourneyLondon Health and Wellbeing offers comprehensive ankle pain treatments delivered by experienced specialists:
Our physiotherapists use manual therapy, targeted exercises, and proprioceptive training to restore ankle function and relieve pain.
Our sports therapists specialize in treating athletic ankle injuries with sport-specific rehabilitation programs for optimal recovery.
Advanced shockwave therapy stimulates healing in chronic tendon conditions and persistent ankle pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
Our podiatrists provide comprehensive foot and ankle assessments, custom orthotics, and gait analysis to address underlying biomechanical issues.
For acute injuries, you should seek assessment within 24-48 hours, especially if there's significant swelling, inability to bear weight, or severe pain. Early treatment can significantly improve recovery time and prevent chronic problems. For gradual onset pain, book an appointment when pain persists beyond a few days or interferes with daily activities.
This depends on the severity and nature of your ankle pain. We generally recommend modifying activities rather than complete rest. Our specialists will assess your condition and provide specific guidance on which activities are safe and which to avoid. We often prescribe alternative exercises that maintain fitness while allowing your ankle to heal.
Recovery time varies based on the injury type and severity. Minor sprains may improve within 2-4 weeks with proper treatment, while chronic conditions or severe injuries might require 6-12 weeks of rehabilitation. Your therapist will provide a realistic timeline after your initial assessment and adjust it based on your progress.
Not always. Our specialists are trained to assess whether imaging is necessary based on your symptoms and clinical examination. We use specific clinical tests to determine if an X-ray or scan would be beneficial. If imaging is needed, we can arrange this through our network of diagnostic partners in London.
This depends on your specific condition. While braces can be helpful in the acute phase of injury or during return to sports, we focus on developing your ankle's natural stability through strengthening exercises. If a brace is recommended, we'll advise on the appropriate type and duration of use to avoid dependency while ensuring proper support.
Don't let ankle pain limit your activities any longer. Our experienced London team is ready to help you achieve lasting relief and return to the activities you love.
