Ankle Sprain


A sprain is a partial or complete tear in a ligament.



This stretches or tears the ligaments that hold the ankle and foot bones together and can lead to instability and re-injury. Spraining an ankle can increase your risk of re-injury as much as 40-70%. But proper post-injury care, rehabilitation exercises and bracing can decrease this risk. The information below can help you prevent re-injury.
