Ankle Joint

Injections

Ankle joint injections target inflammation, swelling, and stiffness caused by sprains, arthritis, or overuse injuries. Corticosteroid injections provide rapid relief for synovitis, while PRP / Stem Cell Injection helps heal chronic tendon or ligament irritation. Every plan is supported by Physical Therapy & Rehab to restore ankle stability, balance, and strength so patients can walk, train, or return to sport safely.

Yes—recurrent swelling after sprains often signals chronic synovitis or micro-instability. We treat flare-ups with guided Corticosteroid Joint Injection to calm inflammation, followed by Physical Therapy & Rehab to rebuild balance and strength. If locking or catching persists, Arthroscopy (Knee & Shoulder) may remove loose tissue or debris, restoring smooth joint motion and reducing the risk of future re-injury or instability.

PRP / Stem Cell Injection is useful for lingering pain after ankle sprains, tendon inflammation, or mild arthritis that hasn’t improved with rest or therapy. It promotes natural tissue healing over time. Our physicians often combine PRP with Physical Therapy & Rehab to reinforce strength, balance, and gait control, helping athletes and active adults regain confidence without relying on frequent injections.

Inflammation causes swelling and stiffness that respond well to Corticosteroid Joint Injection, while mechanical locking suggests cartilage fragments or impingement inside the joint. If symptoms persist after injection, Arthroscopy (Knee & Shoulder) can remove debris or repair tissue. Each case is confirmed with imaging and paired with Physical Therapy & Rehab to restore ankle motion, balance, and proper mechanics for lasting recovery.

After an ankle joint injection, mild soreness or stiffness may occur for 24–48 hours before pain relief begins. Our team provides detailed post-procedure care and a progressive exercise plan through Physical Therapy & Rehab. Most patients notice improved walking comfort, reduced swelling, and better joint control within a week, allowing a safe return to daily activity or light sports training.

All injections are performed by fellowship-trained specialists in Pain Management and Orthopedics using ultrasound guidance for precision. Treatments are personalized for your injury pattern, goals, and recovery timeline. Each plan combines Physical Therapy & Rehab to restore strength and mobility. If locking or instability continues, Arthroscopy (Knee & Shoulder) may be recommended for long-term ankle stability and function.
