Urgent care clinics can treat a wide variety of different sprains including ankle sprains, back sprains, wrist sprains, and more. In general, urgent care clinics can provide treatment for any sprain that does not require surgery, including mild (grade I), moderate (grade II), and severe (grade III) sprains. With that in mind, treatment options for grade I sprains, in which the ligament in the affected area has been overstretched, are relatively minimal. A grade I sprain typically heals within a few days with plenty of rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE method). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also be necessary for pain relief. With grade II sprains, in which the ligament in the affected area is partially torn, treatment involves the use of NSAIDs, the RICE method, and some form of bracing or immobilization so that the injured ligament can rest and heal. Depending on how severely the ligament is torn and how long it takes for the ligament to heal, physical therapy may also be necessary once the ligament has recovered enough to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion to the ligament and joint in the injured area. The recovery period for a grade II sprain is typically between six and eight weeks. For grade III sprains, in which the ligament is completely torn, immobilization and physical therapy will be necessary. In severe grade III sprains, surgery may also be required to repair the torn ligament. Grade III sprains can take anywhere from three to six months to properly heal.
