Understanding Ankle Sprains & Instability

• Ankle sprain: Occurs when the ligaments supporting the ankle stretch or tear, usually from twisting or rolling the ankle.
• Chronic ankle instability: Repeated sprains or untreated injuries weaken ligaments, leading to ongoing pain, swelling, and frequent “giving way” of the ankle.

If left untreated, these conditions can lead to long-term joint weakness, arthritis, or difficulty with sports and daily activities.

Signs You Should Seek Help

You may need orthopedic evaluation if you experience:

• Pain, swelling, or bruising after twisting the ankle
• Repeated ankle sprains, even with mild activity
• A sensation of the ankle “giving way” on uneven ground
• Ongoing stiffness or weakness despite rest and physiotherapy
• Difficulty walking, running, or participating in sports
• Persistent pain months after an initial sprain
