Ankle Impingement Treatment

Ankle impingement occurs when the bones or soft tissues around the ankle joint get crowded or pinched, causing pain, especially during movement. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling. Physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen the ankle and improve flexibility. In some cases, corticosteroid injections can provide relief. If conservative treatments fail, surgery may be considered to remove impinging structures. It's important to follow a healthcare provider’s guidance to ensure proper recovery and prevent future issues.
