Ankle Pain

Information may not be reliable

Your ankle bears your body weight while providing a wide range of motion. When you injure your ankle, it not only hurts, but it also severely reduces your mobility. Ankle pain may mean you received an injury, such as a fracture, a sprain or worse. Diseases — such as osteoarthritis, gout or diabetes — can also cause ankle pain. Get an accurate diagnosis from a board-certified podiatrist like Dr. Velimir Petkov at Premier Podiatry. They’re located just outside of NYC in northern NJ. Call today to get out of pain and back on your feet!

Our NJ podiatry doctors, first determine the cause of your ankle pain before recommending treatment. Front ankle pain treatment addresses sprains, joint inflammation, bursitis, psoriatic arthritis, stress fractures, or even gout. Back of ankle pain treatment focuses primarily on Achilles tendonitis or a rupture to that tendon. If you need ankle pain treatment, visit Dr. Petkov and his team at Premier Podiatry in Clifton, New Jersey.

Although quite painful, simple sprains or strains may respond well enough to standard self-care options such as rest, ice, compression and elevation. But only a podiatrist can determine whether you have a sprain, strain or something more serious. Seek ankle pain treatment to know for certain why your ankle hurts, especially if you notice:

- Significant swelling

- Severe pain

- Pervasive bruising

- A burning sensation

- An open wound

- A loose feeling in the joint that contributes to ankle instability

- A visible deformity of the ankle

- An inability to put any weight on your foot

- Signs of an infection, such as fever, redness, warmth or severe tenderness

If Dr. Petkov recommends self-care techniques, your symptoms should improve within about a week. But if the swelling hasn’t diminished and the pain persists for longer than that, you may have some structural ankle damage that requires ankle pain treatment from a specialist.
