KS Ortho Care – Expert Care for Ankle Impingement and Stiffness
Ankle impingement occurs when soft tissues (ligaments or tendons) or bone structures in the ankle get compressed during movement, causing pain, swelling, and restricted motion. It is common among athletes and individuals with a history of ankle injuries or repetitive ankle stress.
Pain at the front, back, or sides of the ankle
Swelling and tenderness around the joint
Stiffness and limited range of motion
Pain during running, jumping, or squatting
Feeling of “catching” or “pinching” in the ankle
Previous ankle sprains or injuries causing scar tissue
Repetitive sports or physical activities
Bone spurs or osteophytes in the ankle joint
Chronic inflammation of soft tissues
At KS Ortho Care, our specialists perform a detailed physical examination and recommend imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to pinpoint the source of impingement. Accurate diagnosis is critical to determine the most effective treatment.
Non-Surgical Management: Rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy, and activity modification for mild impingement
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Arthroscopic procedures to remove bone spurs, scar tissue, or inflamed tissue
