Ankle Wear & Tear / Arthritis (Anterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome)
Anterior ankle impingement is more of a chronic issue that develops over time. Anterior ankle impingement commonly causes bone spurs to develop in the anterior ankle joint, which can cause decreased range of motion. Unfortunately, physical therapy cannot fix those bone spurs, and if they are bothersome, the only way to get rid of the pain they cause is to move them surgically.
