Common Causes of Ankle Injuries

Ankle injuries are common in adults, but there are many different causes of a sprained or strained ankle. Determining the underlying cause of your injury will help us design a more effective treatment plan. The most common causes of ankle injuries in adults are:

  • Traumatic injuries or falls
  • Excessive or frequent exercise on hard or uneven surfaces
  • Sports, work, or auto accidents
  • Abuse or assault
  • Age-related bone or joint degeneration
  • Arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Joint instability

How Shockwave Therapy Helps With an Ankle Injury

If you are healing from a sprained ankle or strained ankle, shockwave therapy is a safe, effective alternative to prescription medication. During shockwave therapy, we will apply shockwave energy to the injured tissues. The shockwaves promote the body’s natural healing processes and increase the flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the injury site to facilitate healing. Shockwave energy also stimulates stem cells and accelerates the generation of healthy cells and tissues.

Chiropractic Care for Ankle Health

Our chiropractic therapies promote healing without the use of prescription drugs or invasive procedures. We provide tailored techniques to restore movement and flexibility, accelerate healing, and help you get back on your feet faster without risk of re-injury.

Synergistic Impact: Shockwave Therapy and Chiropractic Care

Dr. Giovanelli will design an individualized chiropractic treatment plan that combines shockwave therapy with other chiropractic therapies to improve your chances of a fast, full recovery. We may recommend shockwave therapy, chiropractic care, physical therapy, custom orthotics, and lifestyle modification counseling. 

Pain Management and Improved Functionality

We use a comprehensive drug-free pain management plan to improve function, restore mobility, and promote health. 

Long-Term Strategies for Ankle Wellness

In addition to in-office ankle pain treatment, we will help you develop ongoing strategies to prevent long-term ankle pain. We will recommend changes to your daily routine and lifestyle habits, as well as your work and home life. These preventive measures will help you avoid chronic or recurring pain and re-injury.
