FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my ankle is sprained or broken?
You cannot reliably tell without an X-ray. If you cannot bear weight, have significant swelling, or have tenderness over bone, see a doctor for X-rays.
Will my ankle be weak after a sprain?
Without proper rehabilitation, yes. About 30-40% of people develop chronic ankle instability after a sprain. Physical therapy significantly reduces this risk.
