Ankle Bursitis

What is

Bursae are small sac-like structures that are placed between muscles, tendons and ligaments allowing their displacement. Some hip injuries produce ankle bursitis, which involves an inflammation of these structures producing significant and intense pain.

Causes

Obesity: the joint is directly overloaded in situations involving excessive weight.
Hereditary factors: the shape of our legs, of our pelvis conditions a direct overload of this joint.
Injuries: muscular or Achilles tendon injuries can overload the bursae of the ankle.
Repetitive use of the ankle.
Sudden increases in activity.

Symptoms

The pain usually occurs when performing daily activities involving ankle support.

Approach protocol

Diagnosis and assessment

A correct medical evaluation will be necessary by means of a good anamnesis, physical examination and, if necessary, support of imaging tests, focusing especially on detecting which are the factors that have led this pad to become inflamed. We will observe if they are factors purely related to the activities that the patient performs or if there is any anatomical alteration that favors it. The multidisciplinary vision is essential for a comprehensive approach, personalized and focused on achieving a prolonged relief of pain depending on the phase in which it is.

Complementary tests

Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

Treatment

Interventional treatment: by providing the patient with interventional techniques, we will begin the treatment stage in which we will develop therapies to reduce the inflammation of this pad through the use of regenerative medicine or ultrasound-guided blocks.
Physiotherapy: methodology based on knowledge and clinical reasoning in which we combine a series of techniques and treatments both manual therapy and invasive techniques, always associated or complementing them with cutting-edge technology that allows us to accelerate the recovery process. Among other high-tech devices include Magnetolith, SIS, focal shock waves, Indiba, among others. This therapeutic combination allows us to activate the patient early to begin with a routine and a process of specific therapeutic exercises that allow us to enhance and strengthen the lost functional patterns.

Here begins your life without pain
