Treatment will vary depending on what’s causing your ankle pain.

Dealing With Your Ankle Pain

When you’re dealing with pain, it’s important that you don’t ignore it. You should talk to our podiatrist in Winter Haven, Lakeland, and Davenport, FL, serving the Tampa/Orlando area, about ankle pain. Your podiatrist will examine your ankle and determine what the cause of your pain could be so that they can figure out a treatment plan to help rid you of your ankle pain as soon as possible.

It’s important that you’re taking steps at home to try and alleviate your pain. One of the most important things that you can do is to rest your ankle and give it time to heal. If the pain is severe, you might need crutches to help take the weight off of your injured ankle. If your ankle is swollen, you can elevate it and ice it throughout the day. Your podiatrist might also recommend over-the-counter pain relievers.

In severe cases, your podiatrist may recommend surgery to help the ankle properly heal and to correct any complications that may have occurred with injury.
