Ankle Sprains

Did you trip and fall? Accidentally had another person step on your foot?

Jump for the ball and land awkwardly?

All these activities can lead to a painful sprained ankle.

In fact, 23,000 ankle sprains occur every day in the United States.

That’s over 8 million ankle sprains a year!


What is an Ankle Sprain?

An ankle sprain is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist, or turn your ankle and it stretches or tears the ligaments.

How do I Treat an Ankle Sprain?

The first step is RICE:

Rest | Ice | Compression |Elevation

Check with your medical professional to determine severity of sprain and rule out a fracture.

The road to recovery can continue with the help of physical therapy.

The risk of reinjury is highest in the year immediately following the initial sprain.
