Ankle OA: An Overlooked Condition
Ankle osteoarthritis often follows previous ankle fractures or repeated sprains. Unlike knee and hip OA, ankle OA frequently affects younger, more active patients, making effective non-surgical management critical.
Physiotherapy Treatment Plan
- Range of motion exercises to prevent joint stiffness
- Calf and tibialis strengthening to support joint stability
- Proprioception training to prevent falls
- Orthotic assessment to redistribute joint load
- Activity modification for pain-free exercise
Pain Management Strategies
Our Faridabad clinic uses therapeutic ultrasound, TENS, and manual therapy to reduce ankle OA pain and improve daily function. We also provide advice on appropriate footwear and walking surfaces.
When Is Surgery Considered?
Physiotherapy is always the first-line treatment. Surgery is only considered when conservative management has been fully optimised.
