Treatment for Sprains in Edmonton, Alberta
What is a Sprain?
A sprain is when one or more ligaments in your body are stretched or torn due to injury. Common areas affected are the ankle, shoulder and wrist. The severity of a sprain can range from mild (partial ligament tears) to severe (complete tear). Ankle sprains are the most common type of sprain and can cause pain, swelling and limited mobility. If left untreated sprains can lead to chronic pain and future injury.
A sprain will cause immediate pain at the site of injury, followed by swelling and bruising. In severe sprains, you may not be able to move the affected joint. Whether you have a mild or severe sprain proper rehabilitation is key to not re-injuring and full recovery.
