Ankle Sprains

Ligaments are strong, flexible tissues that attach your bones to one another. They keep your joints stable and help them move in the right ways.

An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments in your ankle are stretched or torn.

Please call us if you notice any of the following:

• You cannot walk, or walking is very painful.
• The pain does not get better after ice, rest, and pain medicine.
• Your ankle does not feel any better after 5 – 7 days.
• Your ankle continues to feel weak or gives away easily.
• Your ankle is increasingly discolored (red or black and blue), or it becomes numb or tingly.
