What is an Ankle Sprain?
An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments that support the ankle are stretched or torn due to sudden twists, rolls, or impacts. It’s a common injury that can affect anyone, from athletes to those walking on uneven surfaces.

What Causes an Ankle Sprain?
The most common cause is an unnatural movement of the ankle, such as:

• Sudden Twists or Turns: During sports or physical activities.
• Uneven Surfaces: Walking or running on uneven ground.
• Improper Footwear: Wearing shoes that do not provide adequate support.
• Weak Muscles or Ligaments: Making the ankle more prone to injury.

Recognizing the Symptoms
Ankle sprains can range from mild to severe, with symptoms such as:

• Pain and tenderness around the ankle.
• Swelling and bruising.
• Difficulty bearing weight or walking.
• Instability in the ankle joint.
• Limited range of motion.
