Keeping ones weight as low as possible, helps prevent arthritis in the knees and ankles. There are treatments that include stem cell injections into the ankle joint, which can potentially heal already arthritic ankle joints. This would require consultation and consideration, and the source of the cells usually would be bone marrow
Avoid the following if you have ankle arthritis:
High-impact activities: Running, jumping, or playing sports that put a lot of stress on the ankle.
Standing or walking for long periods: This can aggravate ankle pain and inflammation.
Wearing high heels or tight-fitting shoes: These can put extra pressure on the ankle joint.
Carrying heavy loads: Avoid carrying heavy objects that put strain on your ankle.

The definition of Arthritis is a loss/decrease in the cartilage in a joint. There is no 'cure' for arthritis of any joint. Once the process starts, whether the arthritis be osteoarthritis (wear and tear), autoimmune relates arthritis, Gouty arthritis, post surgical or post traumatic arthritis, there is no way to grow new cartilage. If you have a low grade arthritic condition (small amount of cartilage damage), the best way to avoid it from getting worse is to avoid high impact activities. If you have autoimmune related arthritis, you must visit a Rheumatologist and be treated with appropriate medications to prevent the processes that damage the cartilage from occurring.
