A sprained ankle is a type of injury that commonly affects runners and people who play sports. A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs when the ligaments in your ankle are overstretched or forced out of their normal position. What treatments are available for a sprained ankle?
If your condition is mild, we may recommend at-home treatments like rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) and over-the-counter pain relievers. In most cases, we can effectively treat your injury with conservative treatments, including:
- Physical therapy
- Electrical nerve stimulation
- Ultrasound therapy
- Continued passive motion (CPM)
- Removable cast or brace
