LATERAL ANKLE SPRAIN TREATMENT​
​​​
Rolling your ankle can happen in an instant, but the pain, swelling, and instability can last much longer. At Bayview North Family Chiropractic, we take the time to assess your injury thoroughly so we can create a treatment plan that supports healing and helps you return to your daily activities safely.
WHAT IS A LATERAL ANKLE SPRAIN?​​​​
​​​​​​
A lateral ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments on the outside of the ankle are stretched or torn, usually after the foot rolls inward. It's one of the most common sports and everyday injuries and can range from mild stretching of the ligaments to more significant tears.
COMMON ​SYMPTOMS WE SEE​​​
-
Pain and swelling on the outer ankle
-
Visible bruising around the joint
