Get Help for a Sprained Ankle in Nashville, TN
If you have a sprained ankle, then you might think that a little rest will be enough. However, some sprained ankles can be more severe and may require a medical evaluation to determine the treatment you need. If your sprained ankle warrants concern, please visit Nashville Healthcare Center in Nashville, TN, for comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
How Can You Get a Sprained Ankle?
A sprained ankle can be from a variety of things, such as a fall, jump, or a sports injury. Anything that moves your ankle out of its usual position can cause the ankle to sprain and become injured. This can even happen with improper footwear or after stumbling on an uneven surface.
How Can You Tell If You Have a Sprained Ankle?
Symptoms include pain, tenderness, bruising, swelling, or a popping sound when your ankle was injured. Additionally, you might find the ankle unsteady and restricted in its movement.
What Treatment Can You Get for a Sprained Ankle?
A sprained ankle can often resolve itself if you treat the ankle to rest, along with an ice pack, elevation, and over-the-counter pain medications. However, with some sprained ankles, you might benefit from seeing a foot and ankle specialist who can treat you with crutches, therapy, or surgery.
The method of treatment you receive will often depend on the severity of your injury and how well it is healing. Our foot and ankle specialist, Dr. Andrew Pierre, at Nashville Healthcare Center can get a clear picture of how bad your sprained ankle is and help you understand the best treatment for your sprain or injury.
