A sprained ankle is one of the most common injuries for athletes and non-athletes. While a sprained ankle is a common sports injury, many adults and children suffer from this injury while walking on an uneven surface. The ankle bones and ankle joint are held together by ligaments. These ligaments protect the ankle joint from abnormal movements such as twisting, turning, and rolling of the foot. While ligaments are an elastic structure, meaning they have some give and take in them, they can only take so much stretching and straining until they are forced beyond their normal ranges. When the ligaments are stretched beyond their normal range or in an abnormal position a sprain occurs.
At Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians, we take your sprained ankle seriously. While it may be one of the most common injuries, that does not mean that it is not incredibly uncomfortable to deal with. Our double board certified physicians can accurately diagnose a sprained ankle and can tell you the grade of your ankle sprain. The amount of pain that each patient feels will vary depending on the amount of stretching and tearing of the ligaments that occurred during injury.
