	Achilles Tendonitis Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon. This inflammation is typically short-lived.

	Ankle Arthritis (DJD) This condition is characterized by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in one or more joints. When cartilage deteriorates or is lost, even simple daily movement of the ankle becomes painful.
	Ankle Instability Chronic ankle instability usually develops following an ankle sprain that has not adequately healed or was not rehabilitated completely.
	Ankle Scar Tissue (Impingement) This painful condition can affect the front or the back of the ankle, leading to ongoing ankle pain, limited range of motion and possibly even bone spurs and other complications.
	Ankle Sprain If you frequently experience the sensation that your ankle will "give out," then you may have ankle instability due to a sprained ankle.

	Charcot Charcot is a condition of the foot typically experienced by people suffering from neuropathy, oftentimes as a result of diabetes.
	Diabetes Diabetes is the cause of ankle and foot pain for approximately 16 million Americans. This disease disrupts the vascular system and can have negative affects on the legs and feet.
