Nothing will ruin a backyard baseball game, an after-work gym session, or other fun, outdoor summer activities like a painful ankle strain or sprain. These occur when the ligaments, muscles, or tendons that support the ankle are overstretched or torn, resulting in pain, swelling, bruising and an inability to walk comfortably that can sideline you for weeks.
While some strains and sprains are minor, others are not – and going without adequate treatment and professional care can result in permanent damage; not to mention further, more debilitating injury down the line.
