Ankle and foot rehabilitation

The ankle and foot form a functional unit and are crucial for walking, running and all other activities to be carried out smoothly and without difficulty. The anatomical structures of the ankle and foot are closely linked to those of the lower leg and knee, and distant problems in the spine or the central nervous system can also cause pain, weakness and impaired function of the ankle and foot. Because these structures are so complex, an examination by a specialist doctor is essential; the specialist will also take any further steps needed for treatment and recovery.

The structures that are a frequent reason for rehabilitation are prone to injury, inflammation and degeneration. Achilles tendinopathy or rupture, arthritis of the ankle / osteoarthritis / reactive arthritis / psoriatic arthritis / gout and other forms of arthritis, ankle sprain, bunion and bunionette, sesamoiditis, chronic ankle instability, bursitis of the ankle and foot, hallux rigidus (stiff big toe), hammer toe / mallet toe, metatarsalgia, Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis / plantar fascia enthesitis, tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction and tarsal tunnel syndrome are just some of the conditions that can affect the ankle and foot.
