Ankle Pain Relief
Do you regularly sprain your ankle? Does one of your ankles roll all the time when stepping on uneven surfaces? If you do, you’re not alone. Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from the same condition. It’s called ankle instability, and it occurs when our ankle ligaments stretch, tear and become “loose.” The ligaments on either side of our ankles are designed to provide stability with each step, but if they become damaged from acute trauma or from excess stress over the years, those ligaments can wear down and leave you predisposed to an ankle injury.
Dr. Silverman specializes in correcting ankle instability, either through guided physical therapy or a minor surgical procedure to restrengthen the ligaments and provide the stabilization your ankle needs. Ankle instability is especially common in athletes, so if you find yourself regularly rolling your ankle while playing basketball or soccer, a consultation with Dr. Silverman will help reduce your chance of injury and missing games.
