Rehabilitation after ankle joint dislocation
Patient Stories
No matter how much a person shows their strengths to the world, the "weak link" will fail. Asymmetries, imbalances, and misalignments are risk factors. When injury, stress, or illness occurs, it breaks at the weak point. What can be done? How do you find this weak link, and how do you strengthen it in time? This is what Professor Blum explains in his video.
The parents of a 13-year-old girl from New York came to Professor Blum's Centre in Spain with a complex multi-planar ankle dislocation. For 5 years, 26 doctors in leading American clinics treated the injury. The result was a limp, difficulty walking, 2 ineffective surgeries, numerous complications, and constant pain managed with painkillers and hormones. As a result of the treatment at the Centre, the joint was restored, the complications of the injury and surgeries were eliminated, the girl started walking, climbing stairs, running, and most importantly, her psychological issues caused by 5 years of constant pain and limitations disappeared.
Rehabilitation Goals: Quick return to competition, strengthen the injured joint, and eliminate the fear of reinjury. Result: 22 days after the injury, Mikhail Youzhny participated in the final match and won the Davis Cup 2006 with the Russian national team.

Q&A
At our Center, we often see patients who have visited numerous doctors, received treatment in different countries, undergone more than one surgery — yet the pain and limited mobility persist. Over the years, complications can develop, and the secondary effects of the dislocation may impact the entire body, restricting normal life and causing the patient to lose hope for recovery. Of course, everything depends on the severity of the injury, previous treatments, and the overall condition of the body. To receive a detailed review of your case, schedule a free consultation with a Center physician.
Professor Blum's method restores inflow, outflow, and microcirculation, initiating blood flow through vessels and capillaries, enhancing the circulation of lymph and cerebrospinal fluid in and around the injury epicentre. This activates metabolism and the formation of new cells, reigniting the regeneration of nerve structures and reactivating dormant neurons. These processes are essential to reducing the growth of fibrous tissue and preventing the formation of cysts and cavities in the injury area, which could otherwise hinder further functional recovery. This approach maximises the restoration of functions during the main rehabilitation phase, which is, undoubtedly, the primary goal for our patients.
Yes, in some cases, relatives come to the Centre, meet with Professor Blum, discuss all questions, visit the hotel, inspect the accommodation conditions to prepare as much as possible for the patient's transfer from the hospital directly to us.
The cost of rehabilitation is 600 euros per day without accommodation, from 719 euros per day with accommodation in a standard double room at the hotel on the Centre’s premises. The exact duration and cost of the treatment course are determined after consultation with the doctor.
The most effective period in rehabilitation is considered to be the first 3-6 months after the injury. During this "rehabilitation window," the nervous system has a large reserve of recovery resources that need to be maximally utilised. The earlier rehabilitation is started after spinal cord and spinal injuries, the better the treatment results.
The post-traumatic rehabilitation process is divided into several stages:
- Specialist consultation.
Online consultation with a rehabilitation therapist: review of medical history, complaints, treatment results, determination of the duration and cost of the treatment course. If necessary, a plan for additional examination is developed. -
Determination of the rehabilitation plan.
Consultation with Professor Blum and a rehabilitation therapist.
Examination, biomechanical testing, diagnosis according to the proprietary system, determination of problems and their priority, development of an individual comprehensive rehabilitation program. -
Attendance at sessions.
In accordance with the developed program, the patient attends sessions at the Centre. The rehabilitation therapist evaluates the progress and adjusts the program. -
Finishing the treatment course.
Receiving recommendations and a set of exercises to do at home.
