Sprained Ankle

18/1/2015

0 Comments

 
A sprained ankle is where ligaments are overstretched.

 Causes

·       Rolling the ankle or

·       Unstable ground.

 

Symptoms
·       Popping or cracking sounds

·       Bruising, swelling and ankle pain.

 

May find it difficult to stand and walk on the foot that is sprained. Sometimes it may require that you use crutches, have the foot strapped up or even have the foot placed into a special walking boot to help mobilise the ankle.

·       In severe cases a sharp pain maybe felt deep in the ankle joint. 

Treatment
Is to:

·       Rest

·       Ice

·       Compression and 

·       Elevate.

Afterwards strengthening the ankle and calf muscles are important to help with stabilising the ankle to assist in prevention of other sprains.
