Experiencing frequent ankle sprains or a persistent feeling of your ankle ‘giving way’? These could be signs of Chronic Ankle Instability, a condition that affects many individuals, often leading to discomfort and limitations in daily activities. At Sorenson Foot and Ankle, we understand the impact this condition can have on your life and are here to provide expert care to help you regain your confidence and mobility.
Understanding Chronic Ankle Instability
Chronic Ankle Instability is a condition characterized by a recurring sensation of your ankle giving out or rolling over, particularly on uneven surfaces. This instability often follows repeated ankle sprains, which can lead to the weakening of the ligaments surrounding the ankle joint.
Causes of Chronic Ankle Instability
- Repeated ankle injuries or sprains
- Failure to fully rehabilitate after an initial injury
- Weakness in the muscles around the ankle
- Loose ligaments or a lax joint capsule
Symptoms to Watch For
If you are dealing with Chronic Ankle Instability, you might notice:
- Frequent turning or rolling of the ankle
- Persistent discomfort and swelling
- Pain or tenderness in the ankle
- A feeling of instability or imbalance
Recognizing these symptoms early can help prevent further injury and complications.
