Ankle pain can make every step a challenge. For some people, it starts with a sudden injury like a sprain. For others, it develops over time with swelling, stiffness, or weakness that makes walking or exercising uncomfortable. Left untreated, ankle pain can lead to instability and even affect the knees, hips, and back.
At Move Chiropractic in Angier, Dr. David Carter helps patients recover from ankle pain naturally. Our goal is to restore stability, improve mobility, and keep you active.
​
Common Causes of Ankle Pain
​
-
Sprains and ligament injuries
-
Overuse or repetitive strain
-
Misalignments in the ankle, knee, or hip
-
Arthritis or joint degeneration
-
Past injuries that didn’t fully heal

Because your ankles support your entire body, even small problems can cause big limitations if not treated properly.

How Move Chiropractic Helps with Ankle Pain
​
Dr. Carter uses gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment in the ankle and surrounding joints. By reducing irritation and improving joint function, adjustments support healing and help prevent long-term instability.
​
Your care plan may also include strengthening, balance, or mobility exercises to stabilize the ankle and protect against reinjury. Many patients in Angier find that chiropractic care not only reduces their ankle pain, but also improves overall movement and confidence when walking or exercising.
