Treating Ankle & Foot Pain at Osteopathy Bern
Ankle & Foot Pain
Ankle Pain is very common and often caused by injuries to the foot and ankle, leading to muscle strains, ligamentous sprains and fractures. Ankle sprains account for one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in general. People who have hypermobile joints or twisted their ankle previously are more prone to ankle sprains than others.
