Pain on the outside (lateral side) of the ankle can be due to a misaligned lower fibula.
The lower end of the fibula, the smaller bone in the lower leg, forms the “bump” on the outside of the ankle. It is attached to the lower end of the larger bone, the tibia, by ligaments. Even a mild sprain of these ligaments can bring on pain.
Aside from a ligamentous sprain, however, the lower fibula may become stressed, or misaligned, in multiple directions, which results in pain, An inferior misalignment is quite common, as is a posterior misalignment.
I correct these misalignments with the Activator instrument, precisely and comfortably for the patient, bringing relief.
