Ankle instability occurs when the ligaments supporting the ankle are stretched or torn, causing the joint to feel weak or give way during activity. This condition often follows repeated ankle sprains and can lead to chronic pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
Symptoms of Ankle Instability
- Frequent ankle “giving way” or feeling unstable
- Persistent pain and swelling around the ankle
- Difficulty walking on uneven surfaces
- Recurrent ankle sprains
- Reduced range of motion and weakness
Common Causes
- Previous ankle injuries or sprains
- Weak or stretched ligaments
- Poor ankle muscle strength or balance
- Improper rehabilitation after injury
At Sole Foot & Ankle Specialists, our board-certified podiatrists provide thorough evaluations and personalized treatment plans. Options include physical therapy, bracing, activity modification, and, if necessary, surgical stabilization to restore strength and stability.
