Have You Ever Wondered What Causes Sprained Ankles?... And Why It Keeps Happening
The most common cause is an ankle sprain that didn't heal properly. When you sprain your ankle, the ligaments that hold your ankle together can be stretched or even torn. If these ligaments don't get repaired, it can result in an ankle that struggles to support your weight properly.
When your ankle is unstable, it can cause you to feel like your ankle is about to "give way" when you're walking or standing on uneven surfaces. It can also lead to chronic pain and discomfort. If you've suffered multiple ankle sprains over a period of time, this can exacerbate your condition even further.
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, long term ankle pain is one of THE most common problems that we see in Southside Physiotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sprained Ankles
What is a sprained ankle?
A sprained ankle occurs when the ligaments in the ankle are stretched or torn, typically due to a sudden twist or turn of the foot.
What are the symptoms of a sprained ankle?
Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected ankle, and sometimes instability or a feeling of the ankle giving way.
How is a sprained ankle diagnosed?
A physiotherapist will perform a physical examination, checking for swelling, tenderness, and the range of motion in the ankle. Sometimes, imaging tests like X-rays or MRI scans might be ordered to rule out fractures or assess the severity of the sprain.
What is the treatment for a sprained ankle?
Initial treatment involves R.I.C.E.: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Immobilisation with a brace or splint, physical therapy exercises, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
How long does it take for a sprained ankle to heal?
Healing time varies depending on the severity of the sprain. Mild sprains might heal in a few days to a week with proper care, while more severe sprains can take several weeks or even months.
When should I see a physiotherapist for a sprained ankle?
It's advisable to see a doctor if you experience severe pain, swelling, or bruising, if you're unable to put weight on the ankle, or if symptoms don't improve with self-care measures after a few days.
Can I prevent a sprained ankle?
While it's not always possible to prevent all ankle sprains, wearing supportive footwear, warming up before exercising, being cautious on uneven surfaces, and maintaining strength and flexibility through exercise can reduce the risk.
Can I still exercise with a sprained ankle?
It's crucial to follow your doctor's recommendations. In many cases, certain low-impact exercises might be allowed during the healing process, but high-impact activities that could further injure the ankle should be avoided until it's fully healed.
Are there long-term consequences of a sprained ankle?
If not properly treated or rehabilitated, a sprained ankle can lead to chronic instability or recurrent sprains. Seeking appropriate treatment and rehabilitation can reduce the risk of long-term issues.
When can I return to my normal activities after a sprained ankle?
The timeline for returning to normal activities varies based on the severity of the sprain. Generally, as pain decreases, and you regain strength and range of motion through rehabilitation, you can gradually resume normal activities. Always follow your doctor or physical therapist's guidance.
Please note that these FAQs provide general information and should not replace personalised advice from a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to consult with a trusted physiotherapist to assess your individual case and determine the most suitable treatment plan for your sprained ankle.
