What Causes Ankles to Get Stiff, Painful or Prone to Injury? With Dr Rick Jacoby

 

Flexibility and resilience of muscles and joints is a hallmark of youthfulness, but over time our ankles can become more restricted in movement, and therefore more prone to injury, arthritis, inflammation, neuropathy or venous ulcers. This condition not only causes pain, but impairs the ability to do exercise, which we need to maintain optimal blood circulation and vascular health.

My special guest today is Dr. Richard P. Jacoby, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist and director of Valley Foot Surgeons. With a career spanning over five decades, Dr. Jacoby specializes in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy with regenerative medicine and non-surgical solutions, including stem cell therapy. He believes neuropathy is a systemic issue that can manifest in conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, MS, autism, and Alzheimer’s. He also specialises in treatment of various foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, sprains, and fractures.
