Sprains
Expert Care for Swift Recovery
Sprains, which involve the stretching or tearing of ligaments in the foot or ankle, can cause significant pain and discomfort. At Island Foot & Ankle, our team of expert podiatrists provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for sprains, focusing on relieving your pain and facilitating a swift and complete recovery.
Our approach to your care starts with a detailed evaluation of your foot or ankle and a thorough understanding of the circumstances leading to the injury. With the aid of advanced imaging tools, we can accurately assess the extent of the sprain and devise a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Treatment for sprains at Island Foot & Ankle typically involves conservative measures such as rest, ice application, compression, and elevation (RICE). Anti-inflammatory medications may also be prescribed to manage pain and swelling. Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises play a crucial role in strengthening the affected area and preventing future injuries. In severe cases where the ligament is completely torn, surgical intervention may be necessary.
Prevention and education form a key part of our treatment strategy. We provide advice on injury prevention, including appropriate footwear, exercises to improve balance and strength, and strategies to avoid sprains during physical activities.
