While not every sprain will require rehabilitation, patients who struggle with repeated injury may benefit from physical therapy exercises to improve strength in the joint and reduce their chances of spraining their ankle in the future. A physical therapy program for an ankle sprain will include exercises that will improve range of motion, flexibility, and strength. Your physical therapist may also include balance and control exercises that will focus on the small muscles of your foot and ankle and help them become stronger. For patients who often participate in team sports or vigorous exercise, stretching before and after physical activity should be an essential part of your daily routine to reduce your chances of an ankle sprain. At Tustin Podiatry Clinic, we proudly offer comprehensive treatment services for patients who have sprained their ankles. We can effectively assess the severity of your sprain and then develop a comprehensive plan that will help your joint heal fully, so you can return to your daily activities without pain or instability. We serve patients from Tustin CA, Irvine CA, Garden Grove CA, Orange CA, Anaheim CA, Costa Mesa CA, and Lake Forest CA.
