When patients sprain their ankles, there is an immediate shutdown of the muscles in the ankle area to due pain. Then, the ankle with weakened ankles, heals adequately and resumes their activity. Subsequently, the next time they are at risk, like landing slightly off or cutting sharply, the ankle goes again (and this time more severe). This highlights the great importance of starting ankle restrengthening ASAP, even at the first visit to your office.
