Ankle Pain

Ankle pain is a common issue, often resulting from injury, overuse, or chronic conditions. Whether it’s from a sprain, arthritis, or other issues, ankle pain can significantly affect mobility and daily activities. At RAD Clinics, we provide advanced ultrasound-guided ankle injections, ensuring precision in delivering treatment to relieve pain and improve function. The ankle joint is a complex structure made up of three bones: the tibia (shinbone), fibula, and talus. These bones are held together by strong ligaments and surrounded by tendons, muscles, and cartilage that allow for stability and smooth movement. Due to its weight-bearing role, the ankle is vulnerable to a variety of conditions that can lead to pain. Common causes of ankle pain include: 

• Ankle Sprains – Stretching or tearing of the ligaments that support the ankle, often from sudden twists or turns.
• Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of cartilage within the ankle joint, leading to stiffness and pain.
• Tendinitis – Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive stress or overuse.
• Gout – A type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals, leading to sharp pain and swelling in the ankle.
• Bursitis – Inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the ankle joint, causing discomfort.
