Ankle Sprain Treatment in Central Florida

Ankle sprains are common, but they vary widely in severity — and getting the right care is key to a full recovery. At Central Florida Foot & Ankle Institute, we specialize in treating ankle sprains, so you can return to your activities safely and with confidence.

Understanding Ankle Sprains

An ankle sprain happens when the ligaments that support the ankle stretch beyond their limits and tear. These injuries are often the result of a fall, a sudden twist, or a blow that forces the ankle joint out of its normal position.

Symptoms of Ankle Sprains

  • Swelling and bruising
  • Tenderness to the touch
  • Pain, especially when putting weight on the affected foot
  • Limited range of motion
  • A feeling of instability in the ankle

Our Approach to Ankle Sprain Treatment

We tailor every treatment plan to the severity of the sprain:

  • RICE Protocol — Rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce swelling and pain.
  • Physical Therapy — Strengthening exercises and balance training to restore ankle function.
  • Bracing or Taping — To support the ankle throughout the healing process.
  • Medication — Anti-inflammatory drugs to manage pain and swelling.

Advanced Treatment Options

For more severe sprains, or those that don't respond to conservative care, we offer:

  • Custom Orthotics — To support the ankle and improve biomechanics.
  • Joint Mobilization — Hands-on therapy to improve movement and reduce pain.
  • Surgical Intervention — Rarely necessary, but available when ligaments don't heal properly.
