Ankle Pain Treatment Newcastle

Ankle pain can make walking, running, climbing stairs, or even standing uncomfortable and limit your ability to carry out daily activities. Whether it is caused by a sudden injury, repeated strain, or long-term joint issues, ankle pain can interfere with work, sport, and everyday life.

At Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our expert physiotherapists specialise in identifying the root causes of ankle pain and providing targeted treatments. Through hands-on therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and evidence-based interventions, we help reduce pain, restore movement, and improve stability so you can get back to doing what you love.

Ankle Pain Physiotherapy

Our Newcastle physiotherapists use a tailored combination of manual therapy, soft tissue release, taping, mobilisation, acupuncture, dry needling, and strengthening exercises to relieve ankle pain, improve joint movement, and rebuild strength.

Each treatment plan is personalised. After a full assessment, we explain your diagnosis, discuss the most suitable options, and begin physiotherapy in your first session. Early intervention improves recovery speed and lowers the risk of re-injury or chronic ankle instability.

Common Types of Ankle Pain

Ankle Sprains
Sudden twisting or rolling of the ankle can strain ligaments, causing pain, swelling, and reduced movement. Sprains are one of the most common ankle injuries and require careful rehabilitation to prevent long-term instability.

Achilles Tendon Pain
Inflammation or degeneration of the Achilles tendon can cause stiffness, swelling, and pain at the back of the ankle or heel, particularly with running, jumping, or prolonged standing.

Arthritis
Degeneration within the ankle joint, or post-traumatic arthritis following an injury, can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, especially in older adults.

Overuse Injuries
Repetitive activity, poor footwear, or training errors can overload the ankle tendons and muscles, leading to gradual pain, swelling, and discomfort during daily life or sport.

Postural or Biomechanical Issues
Foot alignment problems, weak supporting muscles, or hip/knee imbalances can place extra strain on the ankle, contributing to pain or recurrent injury.
