    What causes Ankle Sprains?

    • Was it landing on another person’s foot in basketball, netball, football or soccer?
    • Did you misjudge a step whilst walking or running and go over your ankle?
    • Did you hear a popping or cracking sound?
    • Is the ankle all stiff now from all the swelling and bruising and there is discomfort when you stand or walk?

    At the SA Running Injury Clinic, ankle sprains happen all the time .. and we see them all the time.

    Ankle Sprain Adelaide

    Treatment for Ankle Sprains

    As mentioned above, it is caused usually by a runner or walker misjudging a step, or landing on an uneven surface. In sport, it is from changing direction or landing on another competitor’s foot.

    Initially, you may have trouble walking or standing and require strapping, crutches or a walking boot. In more severe cases there may be a fracture. Unfortunately, when you sprain your ankle, it can increase the chance of restraining by 40 – 70%. You may also develop persistent ankle pain and stiffness. This is a condition called Sinus Tarsi Syndrome.

    We have a 5 Phase Rehabilitation Program:

    Phase One:

    • Reduce Pain and Control Swelling. This is done via RICER
    • Rest
    • Ice
    • Compression
    • Elevation

    Phase Two:

    • Restore Range of Motion
    • Massage
    • Stretching regime of exercises

    Phase Three:

    Phase Four:

    • Correct Foot Posture
    • Ankle sprains can be caused by a foot that ‘rolls out’. The Sinus Tarsi Syndrome Condition can be caused by a foot that ‘rolls in’

    Phase Five:

    • Restore Agility, Speed, Power and Proprioception
    • Exercises to restore your sports specific movements
