Ankle Pain

The ankle joint acts like a hinge and is surrounded by a joint capsule, tendons and ligaments. Ankle pain can come from any of these structures as a result of injury, overuse, flat feet or arthritis.

Conditions Causing Ankle Pain

Common causes of ankle pain include a ligament sprain or rupture due to injury (twisting, turned ankle). Other causes are ankle instability, arthritis, tendonitis (Achilles or other tendons) fracture, nerve compression and poor structural alignment of the leg or foot often related to a flat or overpronated foot. Less common conditions include gout, rheumatoid arthritis and lesions of the inner surface of the joint.

Blackberry Clinic receives glowing feedback!

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

Patient Testimonial

Prolotherapy

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.

Patient of Lorena Solarte

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.
