Why is there pain in my ankle? - Podiatrist Elliott Yeldham, Singapore Podiatry

There are many causes of ankle pain. It can be caused by biomechanical abnormalities, diseases that cause ankle instability or accidental injury. In Singapore, about 85% of ankle injuries are caused by ankle sprains.

Chronic ankle conditions that cause the pain comes in various forms. It can be the result of unresolved fracture, Peroneal Tendon injuries, Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD), gout, rheumatoid arthritis, Tarsal tunnel syndrome (nerve compression), infection and poor structural alignment such as flat foot.

Ankle pain can be identified by symptoms such as swelling, stiffness and redness in the affected area. Pain can range from a dull ankle ache to a sharp burning pain that occurs during weight-bearing activities such as standing or walking.

Some potential conditions associated with ankle pain are as follows:

✓Achilles tendon rupture
✓ Gout
✓ Fracture
✓ Peroneal tendon injuries
✓ Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
✓ Tarsal tunnel syndrome (nerve compression)

Treating Ankle Pain in Singapore without surgery..

Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) with the MAGNETOLITH is an extremely comfortable in-clinic treatment that is applied to areas of pain, swelling or degeneration without the need for a patient to expose the area of treatment or undress. It provides high oscillating frequency of 100-300kHz into the treatment area, with deep penetration of up to 18cm. This stimulates tissue regeneration deeper than most treatments available today without causing any pain or discomfort during the treatment. The long-term effect is regeneration and rehabilitation of your injured ankle with a significant decrease in pain and improved function. There are no side effects nor downtime meaning patients can continue with their day as normal.

The equipment we use for EMTT is capable of generating a wide range of frequencies at varying levels of power, allowing for precise adjustments suitable for your treatment. The treatment is non-invasive and non-contact and utilises an applicator that is placed above the area that is to be treated.

What does EMTT do?
EMTT therapy triggers electromagnetically induced biological effects at the cell and tissue level.
Fibroblast and collagen proliferation is increased following each treatment.
Increased angiogenesis and collagen formation/maturation leading to wound healing.
Accelerates swelling elimination, restoring normal blood flow, nutrients, and oxygenation of tissue.
Damaged cells recover faster under EMTT treatment.
Accelerated growth factor production at various stages of the tissue repair.
EMTT can modulate cell receptors binding, reducing the inflammatory response.

Generally, this treatment is not a one-time treatment and is used over a period for relief of ankle pain and enhanced ankle healing, EMTT is recommended to be used 1-2x a week depending on the injury or concern at hand.

Podiatrists in Singapore recommend immediate treatment of ankle pain as it can lead to irreversible deformities and disability that affects your daily life.
