What is Ankle Pain?

An ankle sprain is an ankle pain or injury that affects the ankle's ligaments. Ligaments are tight bands of elastic tissue that connect bones. Ankle sprains can occur when the ankle rolls, rotates or twists beyond its usual range of motion. Ankle sprains can be caused by improper foot positioning, uneven terrain, weak muscles, loose ligaments, or wearing shoes with spiked heels. The symptoms of a sprain vary depending on how severely the ligaments are strained or torn, but they commonly involve swelling, discomfort, or bruising. Treatment will vary depending on the degree of the sprain, but may include:

1. Resting the ankle

2. Ankle wrap with elastic bandage or tape

3. Ice pack (to reduce inflammation)

4. Elevation of the ankle

5. Nonsteroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs- to reduce pain

6. Slow progress to walking and exercise

7. A walking cast

8. Surgery (for severe sprains)

9. Physical therapy
