Foot and Ankle Condition Guide
Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain occurs when ligaments stretch or tear after the ankle twists, causing swelling and pain.
Understanding an Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain is common, but joint stability and the possibility of a fracture should be checked early. Repeated sprains can lead to chronic ankle instability.
Location of swelling and bruising
Ability to bear weight
X-ray assessment for an accompanying fracture
Treatment Direction
Assessing Injury Severity
Ligament damage and the possibility of a fracture are checked first.
Balance Rehabilitation
Ankle proprioception and balance exercises help reduce reinjury.
Notice
A treatment plan is not determined by the condition name alone. Examination findings, stability, imaging, and weight-bearing ability are considered together.
Do not put off persistent pain. Have it checked.
