Podiatrists in Milwaukee - Are Ankle Injuries Serious? Saturday, December 19th, 3:00 AM
What Are The Risk Factors for Ankle Injury

Milwaukee, United States - December 18, 2020 / Milwaukee Foot & Ankle Specialists /

Plenty of people take their feet and ankles for granted until something is wrong — and even then, some may ignore the pain and wait for it to heal on its own. This can be dangerous, especially in the case of ankle pain or trauma, since bone fractures or dislocations may be mistaken as a simple ankle sprain. If a break, fracture, or other serious ankle injury is not taken care of, serious damage can occur. Our podiatrists in Milwaukee explain more below. 

Is Ankle Pain Serious?

It’s critical to schedule an appointment with our doctor if you are experiencing any ankle pain, especially following a known injury or trauma. If you notice any of the following symptoms, please give our office a call:

  • Pain in the ankle
  • A bump or painful deformity
  • Pain when walking
  • Ankle instability or difficulty standing

Don’t ignore these symptoms — the resulting complications can worsen your condition and cause more foot problems down the road.

Risk Factors for Ankle Injury

If you are an active person, you will generally be more prone to ankle sprains. Athletes’ feet are under a lot of stress when playing sports, running, or sprinting, so regular foot exams are encouraged. Individuals with high arches are also more at risk for ankle injuries, so it is a good idea to visit our podiatrist for an evaluation and possibly have custom orthotics made to support your feet to avoid ankle problems.

Regular Checkups

If you end up being diagnosed with ankle instability or other foot dysfunction by our podiatrist, you should visit our office for regular checkups. Those presenting with pain or structural deformities should schedule follow-ups with our office to ensure their feet are healthy!
