Did you trip down the stairs a few weeks ago or sprain your ankle and think you can rub dirt on it and walk it off?
Are you still limping, and now your back hurts?
It’s because you never got help for your foot/ankle, and now your body is compensating. Once you sprain your ankle, you are prone to getting more ankle sprains if you do not seek treatment. Your walking and balance may become altered.
This can lead to knee, hip, and eventually back pain due to how your body reacts to that unaddressed ankle injury.
So that back pain you think popped up out of nowhere may have started from your ankle.
Strength and stability are Key for treating ankle pain and back pain.
