What Is an Ankle Sprain?
An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments that support the ankle are stretched or torn, usually due to a sudden twist or roll of the joint. This is one of the most common sports and activity-related injuries.
What Are Symptoms of an Ankle Sprain?
- Pain and tenderness around the ankle
- Swelling and bruising
- Difficulty bearing weight
- Reduced range of motion
- Instability in the joint
Treatments We May Use
- Joint adjustments to restore ankle motion
- Soft tissue therapy to reduce swelling and tension
- Rehabilitation exercises to improve strength and stability
- Movement training to prevent re-injury
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care helps restore proper joint alignment and stability in the ankle. This reduces pain, improves mobility, and supports proper healing of the ligaments.
