Ankle pain

Pain in the ankle joint is a common problem and can occur in different areas of the joint. They can manifest in the anterior, lateral, posterior area or in the entire ankle. This pain can occur acutely, often as a result of injuries such as sprains or overstrain. On the other hand, they may also be chronic and due to degenerative changes or repeated injuries. This can lead to severe restrictions on the mobility of the foot and cause symptoms such as stiffness, swelling, instability or reduced mobility.

Information

General information

The ankle is one of the most complex joints in the human body and is essential for the movement of the foot. It is popularly referred to as the joint that makes the connection between the leg and foot. It consists of three main bones: the tibia (tibia), the fibula (fibula) and the anus (talus). All three are connected by numerous ligaments and tendons and help to create complex movements. Basic movements of the foot, including bending (dorsal flexion) and stretching (plantar flexion), can be performed in this way. These movements are essential for walking, running, jumping and balancing. In addition, especially the bands around the ankle are important for its stability. They help to keep the bones in place and prevent excessive movement that can lead to injury.

Fractures: Bone fractures in the ankle area may cause severe pain.
Arthritis: Inflammatory diseases such as arthritis can lead to chronic pain and stiffness in the ankle.
Achilles tendon problems: Pain in the posterior ankle can be caused by Achilles tendon problems.
Overload: Excessive exercise, poor foot biomechanics or prolonged standing can cause pain in the ankle.

How does K-Active® Tape help against ankle pain?

The K-Active® Tape can be a supportive measure in the relief of ankle pain. Especially in cases of swelling in the ankle, the lymphatic application can stimulate the lymphatic circulation. For example, the tape can help to drain excess fluid from the affected area and reduce swelling. Consequently, this may help to reduce the pressure on surrounding tissue and nerves, which may relieve pain.
