What is Understanding Ankle Sprains: Causes & Care about?

An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments around the ankle are stretched or torn, usually from twisting or turning the ankle in an awkward way. It is classified as an acute injury. The RICE method should be used immediately - rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the ankle. Early mobilization and range-of-motion exercises are recommended to reduce pain and recovery time compared to prolonged rest.
