Knee or ankle pain when walking?
Walking is a great way to stay active, but persistent pain shouldn’t be something you simply have to push through. From overuse injuries and patellofemoral pain to Achilles tendonitis and osteoarthritis, there are several reasons your knees or ankles may hurt while walking.
The good news? Understanding what’s contributing to your pain is the first step toward finding the right solution.
If knee or ankle pain is making it harder to walk, exercise, or enjoy your daily activities, a physical therapist can help identify the cause and create a plan to get you moving comfortably again.
