## Treatment details and explanation
In the examination room, the doctor first asked me detailed questions about the direction of my ankle pain, how long it had been present, and even my recent activity level and exercise habits. After palpating and examining the affected area, she explained in detail the possibility of a ligament sprain and my usual ankle habits. She also used ultrasound to check the condition of the ligaments and soft tissues around my ankle, which made it much easier to understand. I was impressed that she didn't just recommend an injection; she also explained why the pain was recurring in this area and what exercises and stretches I should do to reduce future recurrences.
## Treatment process (physical therapy, etc.)
After examining my ankle, they planned physical therapy along with ultrasound therapy to alleviate inflammation and pain. They showed me the ultrasound image and explained where the inflammation was, which was reassuring. The procedure itself wasn't long, so it didn't feel overwhelming. After the procedure, I received hot and cold compresses and simple electrical stimulation in the physical therapy room. They also provided detailed instructions on ankle stabilization exercises I could do at home and on posture to be aware of when pain was severe.
## Overall satisfaction and recommendation
After several treatments, the pain in my daily life was significantly reduced, and my symptoms improved to the point where I only felt mild stiffness after walking for long periods of time, resulting in a high level of overall satisfaction. The clinic, which operates primarily outpatient and physical therapy settings with no hospital beds or inpatient wards, felt like a local pain doctor, providing immediate and timely treatment for any aches and pains. For those considering non-surgical treatment for joint and ligament pain, such as ankle pain, after sports, or back, neck, or shoulder pain, this clinic is well worth a visit.
