Common causes
- Recurrent ligament sprains
- Plantar fasciitis (runners, prolonged standing jobs)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Jumping or pivoting sports
Symptoms
- Heel or Achilles pain
- Ankle instability
- Swelling after a sprain
- Classic first-step morning pain (fasciitis)
Diagnosis
Our approach
The first step is always a medical consultation. Complementing this: clinical assessment by the physiotherapist (ligament tests, Thompson test for the Achilles). After an acute sprain, X-ray is only requested if clinical criteria warrant it. Ultrasound with Dr Massimo Donalisio for tendinopathies or fasciitis if needed.
Care at Off-Field
- Physiotherapy
- Physical preparation (proprioception — key to avoiding recurrence — and eccentric strengthening)
- In coordination with Dr Massimo Donalisio when indicated: shockwaves (plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy), PRP if shockwaves are insufficient
