Do you find yourself with frequently sprained ankles? You know that annoying rolling or twisting of the ankle which bothers you for a few days or weeks. Those annoying tweaks just stepping “wrong” on a curb or stepping on a child’s toy. If so, there may be a reason for that.
Here is the thing with sprained ankles, the more they happen the easier it becomes. Why you ask? Because the ankle ligaments do not necessarily fully tighten back up after a sprain. Often, they heal with slightly more “length”. This results in increased movement within the joint, and because of this increase in motion makes them more prone to re-injury.
The issue described here is quite common and has a worthwhile solution. The solution is to seek treatment for the problem. Quite often people think they can just “walk it off”. They think the injury is nothing major and all will be fine in a few days or maybe 2 weeks. But here is the thing, the more they happen, the more issues can begin to occur. It is well worth a person’s time to learn how to treat the issue.
Treatment includes working on ankle strength and proprioception or balance. By helping the ankle to get stronger and more “stable”, this will reduce the risk for future injury. Many of the treatments learned have the potential to be completed rather easily at home…and with little to no equipment necessary. So, if treatment can easily be done at home, what is stopping many from getting the necessary help? The fact that many just don’t know how easy and effective treatment can be.
Now that you know treatment for frequently sprained ankles can be easy, what is stopping you? Are you ready to be done limping around?
