SPRAINED ANKLE
WHAT IS A SPRAINED ANKLE?
A common injury when the tissue that connects your ankle bones and supports your ankle (ligaments) is torn or stretched beyond its limits, often after a fall, ankle roll or twist.
Treatment for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of the injury. Although self-care measures and over-the-counter pain medications may be all you need, a medical evaluation might be necessary to reveal how badly you've sprained your ankle and to determine the appropriate treatment.
CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF A SPRAINED ANKLE?
Rolling or twisting the ankle causes ankle sprains. The most common ankle sprains are the result of:
-
Falling or tripping on uneven surfaces
-
Landing incorrectly after a jump
-
Losing balance
-
Participating in sports that involve rolling or twisting your foot (basketball, football, soccer, tennis)
The symptoms of a sprained ankle include:
-
Pain, especially when putting weight on your ankle
-
Tenderness to the touch
-
Swelling
-
Bruising
-

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT FOOT CARE WLA
THE BEST IN THE
LOS ANGELES AREA
"I had some surgery for a minor skin cancer on my ankle which became infected and created a wound that would not heal. After a month of trying, the surgeon sent me to Dr. J. Knudson. He has many years of experience with stubborn cases. Gradually he used various forms of treatment until I was finally cured. How fortunate I was to have found him. I am now back to my previous activity and health. They deserve more than 5 stars."

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY FOOT DOCTOR
"My best friend recommended I see Dr. Knudson so I made an appointment and saw him. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was going on with my feet and how my bone structure was affected by the shoes I was wearing. He took x-rays to determine the condition of my feet before making any suggestions for treatment. I became his client since my consultation and will be seeing him twice a week! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family!"
