How to Fix Your Ankle Pain – even if you’ve tried everything else.
Are you suffering with ankle pain? Are you ready to move pain free again?
Ankle pain can truly put a damper on your day. Walking requires the use of your ankles. Throw an injury onto there and it is a recipe for a miserable life.
I recently fixed a woman from Summerville’s ankle pain that she had been suffering with for over 3.5 years!!! Unbelievable. She had been to 3 podiatrists, a physical therapist, an Orthopedic surgeon and a chiropractor.
She was placed in a boot for months, had to use a knee scooter for months, she did injections, rehab, Orthotics, and offered surgery even though the doctors weren’t exactly sure what was even going on.
Her friends and family accepted that she wouldn’t be able to walk, travel, clean her house or pretty much do anything that required use of her ankle. He neighbors would see her slowly limping down the road and the people at church knew her as someone who seemingly was stuck with a permanent disability. That is, until her friend and personal trainer at the YMCA sent her to see me.
Within 2 weeks she was walking 75% pain free. The last bit took a few more weeks of aggressive care, but at this point she was back walking, shopping and scarily, getting back into her running.
Her issue? Scar tissue and myofascial adhesions. In layman’s terms, all the muscles surrounding and crossing her ankle had become stiff and lost their stretchiness. Kind of like a tight rubber band. Meaning the muscles were creating grinding or compression on the ankle joint.
She also had a ton of secondary issues like tight hips and back muscles from basically three years of shifting over to her good side to walk and stand as well as several months of using a knee scooter which I was able to resolve as well.
The best part was hearing how amazed her loved ones and community were around her. Neighbors stopped to chat, completely amazed to see her walking as if nothing had happened. Church members blown away that she could stand during the service and even better was her smile every time she came into the office delighted and proud at what she could do for the first time.
Her message to you and anyone else dealing with chronic ankle or other chronic pain issues? “Don’t wait like I did. I wish I found him sooner!”
What if your ankle was so bad that you had surgery, doctors tell you that there is nothing else you can do, and now you’re STILL in chronic pain?
A few years ago, I had a golfer come out from Kiawah Island who has his entire ankle joint surgically FUSED. The problem was that when it fused, it fused in a way that he was stuck walking on the blade of his foot instead of the bottom of his foot. This resulted in him repeatedly getting stress fractures on the blade of his foot as well as nearly constant chronic pain as he tried to stay active and golf. Even worse, all of the overcompensation caused his lower back to start having pain.
The surgeons told him that after a fusion, that there is not much else that they can do to alleviate the pain and that he would be “stuck” with pain for the rest of his life.
Within a few treatments of releasing scar tissue in and around his surgical site as well as some of the tiny bones in his foot he was able to walk on the flat surface of his foot. Which meant he was able to walk and golf to his heart’s desire without pain and repeated fractures. He shares his story here:
