Chiropractic Care for Ankle Pain in Flower Mound, TX
Care from a doctor who started her chiropractic journey with an ankle injury
A rolled ankle can linger long after the swelling fades, leaving you with stiffness, instability or nagging pain. Dr. Madison Molitor of Palmercare Chiropractic Flower Mound knows this from experience: a sports-related ankle injury is what first introduced her to chiropractic care.
Understanding Ankle Pain
The ankle bears your full body weight with every step. Sprains are among the most common injuries, and an ankle that doesn’t fully recover can alter how the foot, knee, hip and back move.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons explains symptoms, treatment and recovery in its guide to a sprained ankle. Seek medical care if you cannot bear weight, or if the ankle looks deformed or is severely swollen.
Ankle problems often show up as:
- Pain or swelling after a twist or roll
- Stiffness, especially in the morning
- A feeling the ankle gives way
- Pain with running, jumping or uneven ground
- Aches that travel up to the knee or hip
