Leg Ankle Sprain Treatment
Sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments provide connection between bones.
The ankle has many bones that come together to form the joint, so it has many ligaments holding it together. Ankle injuries can be painful and can make it difficult to carry out daily activities.
Ice is the best treatment. Anti-inflammatory pain medications will reduce the pain and combat the swelling.
