Myth & Fact | An Ankle Sprain Is Always a Minor Injury
Myth
An ankle sprain is something you can always walk off.
Fact
Ankle sprains can vary significantly in severity depending on the ligaments involved and the extent of the injury.
While some may improve with appropriate care, more significant sprains can cause swelling, instability, difficulty bearing weight, and persistent discomfort.
If ankle pain or instability continues after an injury, an evaluation can help determine what's happening and whether additional treatment is needed.
Don't let persistent pain keep you from moving confidently.
