Sprains
Sprains are injuries to the ligaments, the bands of tissue that connect bones and provide stability to the joints. They occur when a ligament is stretched or torn by a sudden movement, and the ankle is one of the most affected areas.
Common causes: twists, falls, missteps, or impacts during sports activity.
Common symptoms: immediate pain, swelling, appearance of bruises, and difficulty bearing weight on or moving the joint.
Which specialist treats them? The orthopedist assesses the severity of the injury and, together with the physical therapist, supports recovery. If after a twist you cannot bear weight on the joint or the swelling is significant, the most sensible thing is to have a professional check it to rule out greater damage.
