Good morning. Depending on the cause of pain acupuncture can be helpful. It tends to be more helpful for soft tissue pain. Nerve, muscle, ligament rather than bone. Try to determine the cause of the pain and then address treatment. Massage, physiotherapy, exercising can all be helpful depending on the cause. Good luck.
May lessen pain but doesn't cure cause.
First, the reason for the ankle pain has to be determined. Acupuncture will not help with ankle pain, it may soothe some of the symptoms temporarily but you must keep in mind, that if there is ankle pain, there is a valid reason. See a podiatrist who will assess the situation, take X-rays and send you for an MRI.

Hi,
Acupuncture is great for many issues. It is best with other treatments as well such as physical therapy, medication, and sometimes injections.

Yes, it will depend on the cause and the length of the condition.
Acupuncture can be a useful modality. I recommend you be evaluated by a foot and ankle surgeon(podiatrist to discuss your particular case and treatment options
Yes, I treat ankle pain with acupuncture quite often and successfully. In the meantime, you might try putting ice on the ankle once or twice a day. If there is any inflammation, the ice will help with the pain a lot.
Yes, acupuncture can help with ankle pain.
Depending on the patient and what is actually wrong with the ankle, there are occasions where acupuncture may help with ankle pain or other foot pain. But there are many pathologies that this will not work for.
Yes, acupuncture is an excellent choice for pain management including ankle pain. For the best results please make sure you're seeing a provider who is NCCAOM nationally board certified and licensed to practice acupuncture in your state.
