Learn the secrets to sprained ankle recovery in this comprehensive video brought to you by BackFit Health + Spine.
"Sprained ankles" refer to injuries affecting the ligaments of the ankle joint. The severity of the injury, ranging from mild to severe, dictates the expected recovery time.
Common symptoms of sprains include swelling, bruising, pain, difficulty walking, soreness, and trouble maintaining balance, particularly while walking.
Treatment varies depending on the severity of the sprain. Recommended treatments include:
RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) therapy for the initial three days to reduce swelling and pain.
Assessment by a physical therapist to evaluate the foot, ankle, and arch, possibly leading to the fitting of a temporary boot.
Range of motion (ROM) exercises provided by physical therapy to alleviate stiffness and enhance flexibility during the healing process.
Gradual incorporation of resistance exercises to strengthen the ankle, foot, and calf muscles.
Post-healing follow-up assessments to monitor ankle recovery progress.
Ongoing training, particularly for individuals returning to sports activities, to support ankle stability and prevent future injuries.
