Playing Through Ankle Sprains Can Cause Further Damage

When starting a new fitness routine protecting your feet and ankles is critical. "No pain, no gain" may be a motto for most workouts, but "too much, too soon" can lead to foot and ankle injuries, which can sabotage fitness goals.

 

Playing through an ankle sprain can cause further damage to tendons and ligaments, which may take much longer to heal, or possibly require surgery. What’s more, you may be overlooking a more serious injury. It’s prudent to seek treatment for potentially sprained ankles right away. Untreated, or repeated ankle sprains may lead to chronic ankle instability, a condition that causes persistent pain and giving way of the ankle.

 

If you suffer from an ankle sprain, our award-winning expert podiatrists at Advanced Podiatry of Manhasset, Huntington, Maspeth, Plainview, Coram, Williston Park, and Mineola will be happy to evaluate your problem and speed you onto the road to recovery.
