Ankle Sprains

Causes & Risk Factors

• Sudden movements: Quick changes in direction, especially during sports.
• Uneven surfaces: Walking or running on unstable ground increases the risk.
• Weak or tight ligaments: Previous injuries or lack of flexibility can make the ankle more vulnerable.
• Improper footwear: Shoes without adequate support can contribute to instability.

What Happens If Left Untreated?

Without proper care, ankle sprains can lead to chronic instability, recurring injuries, and long-term pain. In severe cases, untreated ligament damage may increase the risk of arthritis or weakness that affects balance and mobility.
