Common Causes of Ankle Sprains
A sprained ankle usually happens when the foot lands awkwardly, causing an ankle twist or turned ankle to bend beyond its normal range. This sudden movement can overstretch or tear the ligaments that support the ankle joint. Sports and activities that involve quick changes in direction, such as basketball or soccer, are common causes. Uneven surfaces, such as hiking trails, or wearing shoes that don’t provide adequate support can also increase the risk of an ankle sprain.
People with a history of ankle sprains are more likely to experience a sprained ankle again, as weakened ligaments can lead to chronic ankle instability. Our expert team of podiatrists at StrideCare can recognize these risk factors and create a customized treatment plan focused on healing and future injury prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ankle Sprains
Sprained ankle vs broken ankle: What’s the difference?
A sprained ankle involves overstretched or torn ligaments, while a broken ankle means a fracture in one or more of the ankle bones. A thorough exam and imaging can help determine the type of injury.
How long does it take for a sprained ankle to heal?
Healing time varies but typically ranges from a few weeks for mild sprains to several months for more severe cases. Following a treatment plan can help speed up recovery.
Can I walk on a sprained ankle?
Depending on the severity, you may need to avoid putting weight on the injured ankle initially. A healthcare provider can guide you on when it’s safe to begin weight-bearing again.
