FAQ

An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments surrounding the ankle joint are stretched or torn, typically due to a sudden twisting motion. This injury commonly happens during activities such as running, jumping, or simply walking on uneven surfaces. Depending on the severity, sprains can range from mild ligament stretching to complete tears, leading to pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility.

If you’re dealing with ankle pain or swelling, don’t wait—schedule a consultation with our team today for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Symptoms of an ankle sprain can vary depending on the severity of the injury. Common signs include:

  • Pain, especially when bearing weight on the affected foot
  • Swelling and bruising around the ankle
  • Limited range of motion
  • Instability or a “wobbly” feeling in the ankle
  • Tenderness to the touch

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further damage and speed up your recovery. Request an appointment now to begin your recovery.

At Cypress Foot & Ankle Center, Dr. Amin and Dr. Siddiqui will perform a comprehensive examination of your ankle to assess the severity of the sprain. They may ask you to describe how the injury occurred, followed by a physical examination to check for swelling, bruising, and ligament stability. In some cases, imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs may be recommended to rule out fractures or other more severe injuries.

The treatment for an ankle sprain depends on the severity of the injury. Dr. Amin and Dr. Siddiqui create a personalized care plan designed to help you recover fully and avoid future sprains. Common treatments include:

  • Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (RICE): The RICE method is often the first step in reducing swelling and inflammation in mild sprains.
  • Bracing or Splinting: A brace or splint may be used to stabilize the ankle and prevent further injury.
  • Physical Therapy: Stretching and strengthening exercises are vital for restoring full range of motion and preventing future sprains.
  • Anti-inflammatory Medications: These help reduce pain and swelling.
  • Crutches: In more severe cases, crutches may be recommended to keep weight off the injured ankle while it heals.
  • Surgery: In rare cases of severe ligament damage, surgery may be necessary to repair torn ligaments.

Our goal is to help you recover quickly and safely. Request an appointment with Cypress Foot & Ankle Center to get started on your treatment plan.

Recovery time for an ankle sprain varies based on the severity of the injury. Mild sprains may heal within a few weeks, while more severe injuries may take several months. Following your treatment plan and performing rehabilitation exercises as recommended by Dr. Amin and Dr. Siddiqui can help ensure a complete recovery and reduce the risk of re-injury.
