Understanding Sprained Ankles: Acute Care & Prevention

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.
