    Ankle Sprains Medindie

    Reasons for an Ankle Sprain 

    Ankle Sprains Medindie

    • Did you misstep while walking or running and twist your ankle? 
    • Did you land on someone else's foot while playing basketball, netball, football, or soccer? 
    • Did you hear a pop or crack? 
    • Is your ankle stiff from swelling and bruising, making it uncomfortable to stand or walk? 

    Ankle sprains are a frequent occurrence at SA Running Injury Clinic .. we treat them regularly. 

    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. 

    At first, walking or standing may be difficult, and you might need strapping, crutches, or a walking boot. In severe cases, there could be a fracture. Unfortunately, spraining your ankle once increases the likelihood of respraining by 40 – 70%. You might also experience ongoing ankle pain and stiffness, known as Sinus Tarsi Syndrome. 

    We have a 5 Phase Rehabilitation Program:

    Phase One:

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

    Phase Four:

    • 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’
