Conditions Treated
Ankle Sprain
90% of all ankle sprains occur on the outside part of the ankle, while only 10% occur on the inside. These sprains are characterized by swelling and inflammation
with occasional discolorization to the affected areas.
Treatment Plan
Acute: Treatment consists of reducing any swelling in the affected area, which is followed by a series of stretching exercises designed to rehabilitate muscles and increase strength in order to avoid future injuries.
Chronic: The treatment is much like that above: the individual patient needs to be evaluated. In the case of chronic ankle sprains it is very important that the patient be treated, in order to restore proprioception (sense of balance) and prevent future injuries.
About Ankle, Foot, and Heel Pain
Injuries to the ankle, foot and heel areas, come about as a result of unequal bearing of weight by the legs and feet. These imbalances can often cause undue stress to be exerted on the joints of the feet and ankles.
