WHAT IS AN ANKLE SPRAIN?<\/h2>\n

A sprain occurs when one or more ligaments stretches. Ligaments are small elastics that support the bones and maintain good joint alignment in a static or dynamic position. These structures surround the ankle on the inside and on the outside. They allow stability and an optimal balance of the ankle. Only one false movement of the foot or ankle can result in \u201cmicro tearing\u2019s\u201d, partial tearing\u2019s or complete tearing\u2019s of the ligaments.<\/p>\n

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?<\/h2>\n

Following a sprain, symptoms of pain and inflammation can be noticed. It could be accompanied by heat, redness and hematoma (blood accumulation in the surrounding tissues). The pain felt varies from person-to-person and sometimes not felt at the time of the incident. Furthermore, the intensity of the pain is not necessarily proportional to the severity of the sprain. Following a sprain, it is important to consult a health professional, such as a podiatrist, to optimize the healing process and avoid recurrences or compensations.<\/p>\n

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU SUSPECT A SPRAIN?<\/h2>\n

In order to relieve the pain, we recommend applying packaged ice on the sprained area. It is also important to elevate the leg, rest the ankle by limiting movement and in the case of significant pain, avoid putting weight on the injured ankle.<\/p>\n

We advise making an appointment quickly with a health professional to make sure the injury affects only the ligaments. A fracture may be underlying, and the symptoms are often confused. The podiatrist can perform an x-ray the day of the appointment and he can recommend various treatment options to heal the injury as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

SUFFERING FROM REGULAR SPRAINS?<\/h2>\n

\"\"After a first ankle sprain, more than 40% of people will develop chronic instability syndrome (repetitive sprains). The problem can be addressed by controlling the instability of the ankle with various methods such as wearing a splint \/ ankle brace for sport or by prescribing a custom orthotic.\u00a0Consult your podiatrist if you suffer from repetitive sprains.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
