Ankle Pain

A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs as a result of the ankle being turned, twisted or rolled in an unnatural way that defies its normal range of movement. While many such ankle injuries are incurred from sports or exercise, many people can sustain a sprained ankle simply from stepping off of a curb the wrong way or tripping over an unanticipated object.

Many athletes or other individuals who have experienced repetitive stress upon a previously sprained ankle complain of lingering symptoms, such as:

• Chronic pain
• Stiffness
• Weakness
• Reduced range of movement
• Inadequate flexibility
