Chronic Ankle Instability with Swelling Fixed by Dr Prince

Chronic ankle instability is a common complaint among active people. Unfortunately many people never return to the same level of competition following an ankle sprain. Some people reduce their exercise program dramatically due to continued pain and dysfunction. However, this is one such case where the patient achieved dramatic results with an anticipated full return to play. Results not typical.

[@jonathang511]

Hello Dr. Prince. I’m having similar swelling and instability as shown in the video. However, even using the websites you linked, I’ve struggled to find competent Gonstead chiropractors in my home state of North Carolina. Would you mind personally recommending some doctors in NC (preferably) or anywhere on the east coast between Georgia and Delaware? Thank you so much.

Very interesting video, I have been to the chiropractor multiple times about my shin splints and know one knows but iv been told my ankles are feel loose especially on my left side. Would this cause my on going shin pains?

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

are your shin splints on one or both sides?

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

@17jeza Many people think "shin splints" are a strain of the anterior tibialis muscle but it's more likely a strain of the posterior tibialis muscle secondary to excessive foot pronation. control the foot pronation and you'll get relief. good luck!

[@17jeza]

@@ChiropractorEdmond on the bone but no fracture

[@17jeza]

@@ChiropractorEdmond could be a case of over pronation I have also been fitted with orthotics but no help 😩

[@17jeza]

@@ChiropractorEdmond thankyou for taking the time to reply also! Where do I go with getting these test done properly?

[@nicolehartgrove]

Would this technique possibly work with an old fracture that healed and then started swelling several years later? Orthopedic Dr scoped it and couldn't find anything other than inflamed tissue. I've tried podiatrist, rheumatologist, functional medicine... 5 years later my ankle is still painful and swollen.

[@Brandon68plus1]

I feel your pain I’ve sprained same ankle 3 times it starts killing me if I happen to use my foot the wrong way. What’s worse is same foot I hyperextended my toes years ago and it still hurts. I don’t want surgery

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

Hi @hart7. In short yes if you have an ankle or foot subluxation then an adjustment could be indicated and helpful. Find a gonstead and/or extremity trained chiropractor in your area. Best of luck

[@jonathangtheguy]

Hi Dr. Prince. I have the same issue and I’m considering getting my ankle evaluated. Does Meylor Chiropractic in Greensboro, NC have a good reputation (if you’ve heard of it)?

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

Hi @jonathangtheguy, I’ve never met or heard of Dr Meylor but they have 53 5 star reviews on Google. I’d recommend calling them and ask some questions. Good luck! I hope you find the relief you’re looking for.

[@mohamedorayith4626]

I have both my ankles sprained and swollen for nearly 8 months. I still can't run confidently ;( Sir, as I can't perform these myself, would most GPs have the skill to perform this or else I have no hope. thanks again!

[@mohamedorayith4626]

I don't know if this affects things but if I EVERT my foot I can hear a clicking sound which is probably my perineal tendon.

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

I’m sorry to here that! Unfortunately most GPs would not have the training to manage this type of condition in the manner depicted in the video. Chiropractors with specific post graduate training should be capable of evaluating and caring for your needs. Where do you live? Maybe I can give you a list of doctors to consider

[@mohamedorayith4626]

Dan Prince oh as I expected. I’m guessing not a physio but only a specialist chiropractor. I live in England, Manchester 🙏🏼 This video is a hoard of gold. Thank you a million

[@mohamedorayith4626]

Dan Prince also Sir, when I do take myself to a chiropractor- what are the three movements you used called? Or shall I just show them the video ;)

[@afvetdoc]

Mohamed Orayith I’m sorry for the late reply. Yes any extremity trained chiropractor should be familiar with this evaluation and treatment. You could inquire prior to your appointment if ankle care is in their clinical comfort zone.

[@smike3833]

I think I have the same problem. I sprained my ankle 2 months ago and it’s still swollen no matter how much I stay off it. If I walk to much it swells back up. I’m not sure what to do anymore

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

Have a competent gonstead/extremity trained chiropractor evaluate you.

[@Gabby-hw7my]

Did it get better?

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

@@Gabby-hw7my yes!

[@bokanglekau9282]

I have wider medial clear space. It looks like my ankle was not accurately reduced 7 months ago after ankle sprain. I still haven't recovered and I have chronic ankle pain and swelling. My ankle looks very much the same as the one in the video. Should I wait for the ankle to fully recover and then find someone who can fix my bones just like you did or what should I do?

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

I wouldn't wait to have it evaluated. Find a trained extremity and or Gonstead chiropractor. Best of luck!

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

balancing testing wasn't captured well on the video so I trimmed it. However, he reported pain on left single leg balance and exhibited marked difficulty with an adaptive strategy.

[@deide9138]

@@ChiropractorEdmond Oh Thanks! Well, i live in Germany, so it may be difficault:) But im just curious about this one technique :) Do you shift/translate the tibia above the talus while fixating the talus, or is it more like a decoaptation for the ankle joint - talus tibia. Thanks for your answer :)!

[@sophiewu651]

Im having the same issue. Swelling when I stand too much and can’t bear too much weight otherwise swell up more. The tibia muscle gets very stiff to the point it reaches my lower back. Any way to find such treatment in New York City.

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

There are several competent chiropractors in New York. I know Dr Ryan Suh at Precision Chiropractic

[@technicalsubhajit]

My mom Lateral Malleolus bone Swealing in one leg but no pain no fractures. Why this happened 😢😢😢. And what to do now ? Thankyou

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

Hi! Does your mom have a history of ankle sprain? Which leg? Does she have a heart condition? Assuming a condition like you describe is mechanical it is possible that the proximal fibula is subluxated resulting in lateral malleolus swelling. It's hard to know without a thorough history and evaluation. This is not a diagnosis but should be evaluated by a competent extremity trained gonstead chiropractor.

[@technicalsubhajit]

@@ChiropractorEdmond It's Right Leg. She Didn't have ankle sprain history. Heart condition also fine. My mom had doneted kidney to my sister 12 Years ago.but My sister died after few months. Now she lived with one kidney.

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

@@technicalsubhajit without an ankle sprain history the swelling is vascular or neurological. She needs to see a physician to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Prince, I have similar swelling on my left ankle from a sprain that I had 2 years ago. I’m getting a physical therapy at the moment, but I’m not sure it it will help me. Are there any doctors that can perform the same on my ankle in and around Lincoln, NE or Chicago, IL? I would greatly appreciate that.

[@ABHISharma-yl1uv]

Sir I have the same problem How to explain the same situation to any chiropractor. I am from india. Do reply please

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

Ask your chiropractor if he or she has attended any post graduate studies in Gonstead and Extremity instruction. A reasonably trained chiropractor should be able to help.

[@ABHISharma-yl1uv]

@@ChiropractorEdmond sir i was asking about how to explain him that I don’t have the problem with my ligaments but with my bones. And can you suggest some exercise so that the bone alignment gets corrected automatically. My calcaneous pitch is increased (38 degrees) And sir can you please send me your email id so that i can send you my xray

[@afvetdoc]

@@ABHISharma-yl1uv I understand. Ask your doctor if he is willing to watch the video to better understand the type of thorough examination analysis you are looking for. Next Have him call me. I’m happy to consult with him to discuss your exam findings and treatment recommendations. once I have some objective exam findings I can form an opinion. Regarding exercises: no exercise would have replaced this misaligned joint example. Exercises can be helpful following joint correction and vary depending on the condition. Generally, single leg balance on uneven surface and resisted eversion exercises to strengthen peroneals would be recommended in this sample case.
