Chronic ankle sprains that never feel 100%? Your foot muscles might be working overtime! 🦶

A new study found that people with ongoing ankle instability use their calf muscles more to stay balanced, while one key foot muscle (the one near your pinky toe) works less, especially during landing.

This imbalance might be a sign your foot needs some targeted rehab. If your ankle still feels “off” after past injuries, we can help you rebuild strength and stability from the ground up! ⚖️

Jaw pain lingering after a car accident? You’re not imagining it. 👀
