Sports Injuries
​
​
Sports Injuries such as ankle sprains are common injuries that occur among people of all ages and activity levels; in fact, they are the number one reason for missed participation in athletics.
​
Sprains occurs when the strong ligaments that support the joints, such as the ankle, stretch beyond their limits and tear. The severity of a sprain can vary greatly depending on the number of ligaments involved and the extent to which the ligaments are torn.
​
Most sprains heal with of conservative care of ice and elevation. Chiropractic can assist with reducing inflammation, increasing joint function and offering prescribed rehabilitation exercises.
​
Without proper treatment and rehabilitation, a chronic or untreated severe sprain can weaken your ankle, making it more likely that you will injure it again. Repeated ankle sprains can lead to long-term problems, including chronic ankle pain, arthritis, and instability.
"Keeping active plays such an essential role in healthcare. But with sport comes along the occasional injury. Whenever I can get someone back into their regular sports routine I feel it's a win for their long-term physical and mental health."
