Ankle Pain and OMM
Ankle Pain and OMM
Ankle pain is common, especially in athletes or anyone who’s suffered a sprain. Once injured, ankles can feel unstable or prone to repeated injuries because of lingering misalignments and ligament stretching.
Common Causes of Ankle Pain:
Malposition of the fibula, which connects ankle and knee function
Stretched or weakened ligaments on the ankle’s sides
Misaligned foot and ankle bones
Reduced proprioception (the nervous system’s ability to sense joint position)
How OMM Helps:
At Still Point Osteopathic Care, we perform a detailed hands-on exam to identify structural imbalances. Then, we use gentle manipulative techniques to:
Realign the fibula, foot, and ankle joints
Ease tension in ligaments and surrounding tissues
Improve nervous system communication for better balance and stability
You’ll also receive simple home exercises to strengthen and stabilize your ankle. For advanced injury, regenerative options (PRP, PIT, Prolotherapy, Trigger Point) can be discussed.
What to Expect:
Your treatment plan is personalized, combining OMM sessions with home exercises. Many patients notice improvement in pain and function after just a few visits.
