An ankle inversion sprain is a common injury that occurs when the foot rolls outward (inversion), causing damage to the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. This injury can occur during activities such as walking, running, or jumping, and is often associated with sports such as basketball or soccer.

Symptoms of an ankle inversion sprain can include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected ankle. In severe cases, the ligament may be completely torn, which can lead to instability and an increased risk of future sprains.

Our treatment approach typically involves a combination of manual therapy techniques, exercise therapy, and modalities such as ice or laser therapy or ultrasound. Manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and stretching can help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve range of motion, and restore normal joint mechanics. Exercise therapy can also form an important component of physiotherapy for ankle

inversion sprains. Specific exercises can help to strengthen the muscles around the ankle joint, improve balance and proprioception, and reduce the risk of future sprains.

Modalities such as ice or laser therapy can also be used to reduce pain and inflammation and promote tissue healing. Our skilled physiotherapists will prescribe a treatment plan based on the severity of your injury and your individual needs and goals.
