What’s Behind Your Ankle Pain? A Guide to Understand the Causes
Struggling with ankle pain in Singapore?
A sudden misstep can lead to more than just a sprain. Ankle injuries are among the most common musculoskeletal issues we see—whether you're an athlete, an active professional, or simply going about your day. These injuries can involve ligaments, tendons, or even fractures, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Ignoring ankle pain may seem harmless at first, but without proper care, it can cause long-term instability, recurrent sprains, and even affect your hips and knees due to altered walking patterns.
Common causes include:
Joint sprains
Peroneal and Achilles tendon injuries
Ankle impingement
Tendinitis and instability
Bone fractures
Symptoms to look out for: swelling, bruising, stiffness, tenderness, and a limited range of motion.
Prevention is key—choose supportive footwear, do ankle stability exercises, and don’t skip your warm-ups. Most importantly, listen to your body and pace yourself.
Don’t wait until it gets worse. If you’re experiencing persistent ankle pain, let our physiotherapists at Milestone Physiotherapy assess your condition and guide you toward a full recovery. With a tailored rehab plan, you can regain mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.
