The ankle is made up of many bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles designed to give you both mobility and stability. There are many different structures in the ankle which can cause pain.
Ankle pain may affect one or both ankles, it can affect an individual of any age, and may have a variety of different causes.
The most common causes of ankle pain are arthritis, Achilles tendonitis, sprained ankle, stress fractures, gout, and plantar fasciitis. Other underlying causes include flat feet, exercise induced sports injury or accidental falls (turned, sprained or twisted ankle).
The practitioner will take an in-depth case history, focusing on the onset of the ankle pain. There will then be a physical examination of the ankle. The practitioner will be guided by the location of pain as to which structure is likely to be the cause.

After a course of Prolotherapy my back pain has gone and I live a normal life. I can’t thank Dr Petrides enough for giving me back my quality of life
Following treatment at Blackberry Clinic, Milton Keynes my back pain improved and I could play for my country again
Just wanted to say please pass my thanks to my osteopath, I came yesterday with terrible back and shoulder pain and today I am pain free, am well delighted as had a day planned with friends was worried I wouldn’t enjoy, please pass my thanks onto her.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lorena has changed my life. Four months ago, having been diagnosed as having “severe, acute and chronic” disc degeneration I genuinely thought I was facing a life of disability (I am 49).
Lorena has re-taught me how to move my body and how to think about what muscles I engage to a point that I am now running, swimming and doing pilates again and have almost full flexibility in my spine. It almost feels like Lorena can see through your skin to your muscles, so profound is her understanding of how the body moves.
