Ankle & Achilles

Whenever you sprain your ankle, you are much more likely to sprain it again in the future, and this can lead to chronic ankle instability.

This means that a sprained ankle can gradually trigger a cascade of degenerative condition.

Prolotherapy could allows the joints to regenerate. So, anyone with an acute ankle injury, such as an ATFL tear, or chronic ankle pain conditions, such as osteoarthritis should consider Prolotherapy as an effective treatment to help stabilize the ankle joint and prevent premature degeneration.

    Symptoms caused by Ankle Instability

    • Ankle discoloration
    • Ankle swelling
    • Ankle pain
    • Arch cramping
    • Crepitation (cracking) with movement
    • In mild cases, there may be a propensity for the ankle to continually turn inward
    • Inability to move the ankle properly
    • Loss of range of motion
    • Loss of muscle strength
    • Numbness in toes
    • Pain even when no weight is put on the ankle
    • Referral foot and toe pain

    If the joints in the ankle are too much, it is likely that pain will appear. This is when patients have being diagnosed with joint instability.

    Why is the joint unstable? Because the support structures, the ligaments and tendons, have been stretched and have become weakened.

    Prolotherapy for Ankle Pain

    Ligaments do not have blood supply, so therefore do not heal well on their own. Ankle instability can quickly become a chronic, painful condition.

    This instability can also lead to destructive joint motions every time the ankle joint is used, wearing down the cartilage and causing further structural damage.

    Our practitioners understand the need for ankle stability to prevent the long-term damage resulting from ankle instability.

    Therefore, we utilize Comprehensive Prolotherapy to restore the ligament strength and integrity which improves the ankle joint function.

    Prolotherapy is likely to reduce cartilage degeneration by reducing destructive joint motions and allows the ankle to heal.

    Many times, MRI might show that nothing is wrong with the ankle. This is due to the fact that MRIs do not assess movement or abnormal movement, so partial ligament damage might no appear on an MRI study.

    A proper assessment of the range of motion of the joint, as well as MSK ultrasound x-ray where we can assess the joint movement of your ankle and stress the joint to see what is the problem is on while you are having symptoms.

    Excessive movement or soft end feel compared to the non-painful side while inverting the ankle is a sign of lateral ankle instability

    Yes, Prolotherapy can be highly effective for chronic Achilles tendonitis. It encourages collagen production at the tendon attachment site, helping to rebuild and strengthen the injured tissue that hasn’t healed properly with rest or physiotherapy alone.

    Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions, depending on the severity of the injury and how the body responds. Your practitioner at ProBack will assess your condition and create a personalised treatment plan.

    The procedure involves mild discomfort from the injection itself, but most patients tolerate it well. Any post-treatment soreness usually subsides within a few days and is a sign that healing is underway.
