When Ankle Pain Doesn't Improve
Most ankle problems improve with the right rehabilitation. However, if your symptoms persist or the diagnosis isn’t clear, further assessment may be helpful.

FAQ’s
ankle & Foot Pain Pain Physiotherapy in Leeds & Bradford | Frequently Asked Questions
We discuss how your symptoms started, previous injuries and the activities you find difficult. Your physiotherapist will assess the relevant movements, strength and function, explain their findings and discuss treatment options. Bring any previous scan reports, a medication list and the shoes you normally wear for the activity that causes symptoms.
Physiotherapy can help with many causes of ankle and foot pain, including ankle sprains, recurring instability, plantar heel pain and Achilles tendinopathy. At Light Joints Physiotherapy, we assess your symptoms, movement and strength, then recommend a personalised plan to support walking, work, exercise or sport. If you need further investigation, we will explain the next steps.
Not everyone needs a scan. A clinical assessment may provide enough information to begin rehabilitation. Focused MSK ultrasound can help assess selected tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues when the findings could influence your care. It does not replace every X-ray or MRI. If a fracture or another problem is suspected, a different investigation may be needed.
Yes. Repeated ankle sprains or a feeling that your ankle gives way are reasons to seek an assessment. We assess ankle movement, strength, balance and control, then tailor rehabilitation to the demands of your daily activities or sport. Persistent instability may require further investigation or specialist advice.
This depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Your physiotherapist can help you adjust training and choose suitable exercises while you recover. A return to running or sport should consider strength, balance, function and how your symptoms respond to increasing activity.
A corticosteroid injection may be considered for selected conditions after clinical assessment. It is not suitable for every cause of pain and does not replace rehabilitation. Steroid injections into the Achilles tendon are not recommended because of the risk of tendon rupture. Your clinician will explain whether an injection is appropriate, including the potential benefits, risks and alternatives.
A 45-minute physiotherapy appointment costs £65 and includes assessment, an explanation of the findings, and a personalised treatment and exercise plan. Physiotherapy with focused MSK ultrasound costs £95, where ultrasound is clinically appropriate. Check our service pages for current prices and appointment details.
