What is Lateral Ankle pain?

Lateral ankle Pain (strain) is inflammation, irritation and swelling of the Peroneus Longus / brevis tendons at the attachment to the calcaneus or tibia. There are two muscles with tendons that can be affected; Peroneus Longus / Peroneus Brevis

TOO MUCH LATERAL ANKLE MOVEMENT
This is caused predominately by supination (Rolling out of the foot).
As shearing and tractional forces are placed on the Achilles tendon, inflammation can occur at the attachment to the calcaneus (heel bone).

ITS ALL ABOUT FOOT STRUCTURE
If the foundation is not correct (foot) and in the best position, then the walls (legs) and roof (hips / lower back) are out of alignment.

ACCIDENTAL GOING OVER ON THE ANKLE
Usually, the first sign of peroneal tendinopathy is when someone goes over on the ankle – also called lateral ankle sprain.

This will give it time to heal and prevent too much pressure being applied.

TEMPORARY ANKLE STRAPPING

By strapping your foot, it will allow the tendons to relax and avoid too much pressure being applied. This will allow for your foot to heal at a quicker rate. Our Podiatrist can provide advice on how to strap it effectively when you are at home. It is also important to remove it after three days.
