“Ensuring that adjacent nonneural structures are functioning in an optimal fashion can reduce the mechanical forces these structures place on sensitive neural tissues (Butler, 2000; Hall & Elvey, 1999), thereby theoretically reducing nociceptive input from sensitized nervi nervorum and AIGS (Butler, 2000). For example, restoring optimal function in the superior and inferior tibiofibular articulations may assist in reducing nociceptive input from a fibular nerve that has become mechanically sensitive after an inversion ankle injury.”
Don’t forget to create functional movement at this joint!
