FAQs Ankle Sprains
An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments supporting the ankle are stretched or torn, often due to a sudden twist or impact. This injury is common in sports and can happen during everyday activities as well.
Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the ankle. You may also feel instability or a popping sensation at the time of injury.
Diagnosis involves a physical examination and a review of your medical history. We may also use imaging techniques like X-rays to rule out fractures and assess the extent of the injury.
Treatment options range from rest and ice to physical therapy and, in some cases, surgery to repair torn ligaments. Our team will create a personalized plan based on the severity of your injury.
