What

The Ankle joints can become misaligned, just like vertebra which leads to the joint not functioning properly. If joints of the ankle are jammed or not moving correctly, then nutrients may not be able to get into the joint surfaces, allowing wastes to build up which leads to destructive osteoarthritis. An ankle that is not functioning properly may refer pain to the foot or be referred from the knee; this dysfunction can also lead to pain in various areas of the foot. Damage to the muscles, that help the ankle function correctly, can also lead to ankle pain, including the front and back of the shin bone (calf muscles and anterior tibials. The ankle is a complex joint made up of both bones of the lower leg and a few bones of the foot
