Let's talk ankle sprains! 🦶
There are a few types of ankle sprains. The more common is the inversion ankle sprain. This is where we roll our ankle so the toes and foot go inwards causing injury to the outside of the ankle.
This type of sprain usually involves the Anterior Talofibular Ligament (I know, it's a mouthful). It can also involve the other ligaments in the area.
There are three degrees of an ankle sprain. A first degree is a minor sprain where only a few fibres of the ligament are torn. A third degree is where the ligament is fully torn and a second degree is anything in between the two.
The main treatment for ankle sprains is RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Once the acute healing is finished, we then have to work on getting the strength, balance and mobility back in the ankle as well as the rest of the body.
