Understanding Twisted Ankle
Twisted Ankle? Let Advanced Foot Care Help You Recover
A twisted ankle can happen when you least expect it, turning a simple misstep into weeks of discomfort. At Advanced Foot Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating ankle injuries to get you back on your feet quickly and safely. Here’s everything you need to know about twisted ankles, how to prevent them, and when to seek expert care.
Preventing Twisted Ankle Symptoms
While not all ankle injuries can be avoided, certain steps can help reduce your risk:
- Wear proper footwear: Choose shoes that provide adequate support, especially during physical activities.
- Warm up before exercise: Stretch and perform light exercises to loosen up your muscles.
- Strengthen your ankles: Incorporate balance and strengthening exercises into your routine.
- Stay alert on uneven surfaces: Be cautious when walking or running on irregular terrain.
Prevention is key, but accidents can still happen. That’s where we come in.
When to Seek Help:
Not all twisted ankles require medical attention, but you should seek professional care if you experience:
Severe pain or swelling that doesn’t improve after a few days.
Difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected foot.
Deformity or instability in the ankle joint.
Persistent discomfort or recurring injuries.
At Advanced Foot Care, our specialists can accurately diagnose the severity of your injury and recommend the best course of treatment to ensure a full recovery.
