Understanding Ankle Sprains: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Christo Mark

This abstract provides insights into ankle sprains, elucidating their etiology, clinical manifestations, and management. Ankle sprains arise from overstretching or tearing ligaments due to abrupt twisting or rolling motions, prevalent in sports or uneven terrain activities. Symptoms encompass pain, swelling, and restricted joint mobility, categorized by severity. Diagnosis involves physical evaluation and possibly imaging. Treatment varies based on severity, encompassing RICE protocol, NSAIDs, and bracing for mild to moderate cases. Physical therapy restores ankle function, while severe cases might necessitate surgical intervention. Preventive measures, such as muscle strengthening and appropriate footwear, can mitigate risks. Understanding ankle sprains aids in proactive management and mitigates potential long-term complications.
