Conditions OverviewAnkle Injury Recovery in Montgomery
Ankle injuries can range from minor sprains to chronic instability, impacting your ability to stay active. At our Montgomery clinic, Dr. McNally offers various approaches to addressing these concerns. With three decades of clinical experience, she works with patients to understand their specific situations and discuss potential care options.
Our ankle injury care process typically includes:
- Detailed symptom discussion
- Health history review
- Gait and biomechanical analysis
- Range of motion and stability tests
- Treatment option explanations
Note: Symptoms can vary among individuals. We focus on creating appropriate care plans based on each patient's specific presentation.
Understanding Different Types of Ankle Injuries
Ankle Sprains
One of the most common injuries, ankle sprains involve the stretching or tearing of ligaments. Our evaluation determines the severity of the sprain and guides a care plan focused on stability and healing.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of the tendons around the ankle can cause persistent pain and swelling. We assess for signs of tendonitis, such as Achilles tendonitis, and develop strategies to reduce inflammation and promote proper function.
Chronic Instability
After repeated sprains, the ankle can become unstable, leading to a feeling of the ankle 'giving way.' Our care plans for chronic instability often focus on strengthening the surrounding muscles and improving joint proprioception.
Our Advanced Multi-Modal Treatment Approach
Digital X-Ray Diagnostics
We use digital X-ray imaging when clinically indicated to help assess the spine and joints. Imaging, your history and a physical examination help Dr. McNally assess possible contributors to your symptoms and discuss a care plan suited to your situation.
Innovative Therapy Options
Our care options may include:
- Low-Level Laser Therapy: Light-based therapy that may help temporarily relieve minor muscle and joint pain
- Shockwave Therapy: Acoustic pressure waves applied to soft tissue that may help ease certain musculoskeletal pain
- Interferential Therapy: Electrical stimulation that may help relieve pain and ease muscle tension
- Russian Stim: Electrical muscle stimulation used to support muscle re-education and rehabilitation exercises
- Flexion Distraction: A gentle, table-assisted technique that may ease pressure on the spine and support mobility
- Spinal Adjustments: Targeted manual techniques intended to support joint movement and function
