I had a few podiatry treatments done out of 10. The male and female nurses are very good. 25/2 nurse Rochelle recommended the tape on me after the treatment which I felt extremely wonderful. I felt my knees like nothing had happened. Walking very comfortably with the tape after treatment.

I visited East Podiatry in Novena about three months ago as I was experiencing sharp pain on my left heel. It was affecting my running and walking. During my first consultation, Jordan accurately diagnosed the condition as Achilles tendonitis and recommended a shock wave therapy.. fast forward that three months later, the pain has dissipated. I am now able to resume my running. Jordan is very helpful and attuned to his patients' needs. I am a barefoot runner and he acknowledged that switching to regular shoes will not do me any good. I appreciate his frank advice. He also recommended exercises to help me with strengthening my toes and plantar muscles so as to prevent the Achilles tendonitis from recurring. His assistant, Ashley performed the shock wave treatment with precision and skills, as well. Overall, I am very happy with the treatment and service.

Great experience at East Coast Podiatry (Orchard)! Had a persistent nail fungus issue over the last couple of years and it was solved so quickly and efficiently with the team. My podiatrist - Ms Peggy explained and assessed my condition in great detail, and recommended me the follow up actions required to get the issue all treated. Was an overall superb and pleasant treatment experience 🙂

We have been with Gerorgina for my daughter in-toes and flat foot issue. Gone through a thorough treatment, exercises, feet braces and we can see massive improvement in my daughter's posture and feet.
Georgina and the staff have been very helpful and making every visit smooth and pleasant. Keep up the good work!

Our 6-year-old son had very severe in-toeing when we first visited Dr. Michael in October 2024. We’re incredibly thankful for his expertise—after just 8 months of treatment, our son is now very close to having an ideal foot structure.
What we appreciated most was the all-in-one pricing—it covered everything from braces to follow-ups, making the treatment both convenient and great value for money. The clinic’s location in Orchard is also a big plus for accessibility. Highly recommend Dr. Michael, especially for concerned parents dealing with pediatric foot issues!

What Happens during an Ankle Sprain?

An ankle sprain happens when the ligaments that support the joint are overstretched or torn, leading to pain, swelling, and instability. This can affect movement and, if left unaddressed, may result in chronic weakness or recurring injuries.

What starts as a minor discomfort can quickly become a chronic problem. Over time, these poor biomechanics and untreated concerns can contribute to more serious issues or ongoing joint stress, potentially affecting mobility and quality of life.

What are the Common Causes of Ankle Sprains and Pain?

Ankle pain can result from a variety of general factors that strain or impact the ankle. These causes often develop over time or arise from everyday habits and routines.

  • Twisting, rolling, or turning the ankle inward (inversion) or outward (eversion) during movement
  • Landing awkwardly from a jump, as in sports like volleyball or basketball
  • Walking or running on uneven surfaces
  • Wearing improper footwear, especially during physical activity
  • Sudden changes in direction, often seen in athletes
  • Previous injuries that weaken soft tissues and ligaments
  • Lack of warm-up or poor balance before exercise

Symptoms Checklist 

Common symptoms of an ankle sprain and other ankle pain issues can vary depending on the severity and cause, but these are the most typical symptoms include: 

  • Sudden pain after twisting the ankle
  • Swelling around the ankle
  • Bruising or discoloration
  • Tenderness when touching the area
  • Difficulty walking or putting weight on the foot
  • A feeling of instability or “giving way”
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Popping sensation or sound at the time of injury

However if these symptoms persist, the condition may progress from inflammation to long-term tissue damage. Please check with our podiatrists if you experience any of the symptoms above.
