Back Pain FAQS

Surgery is rarely necessary for an ankle sprain. Most sprains can be treated with conservative measures such as rest, physical therapy, The Human Garage care, and bracing. However, if there is a severe injury, such as a complete ligament tear or repeated ankle instability after conservative treatment, surgery may be considered. A healthcare provider can determine the best treatment based on the severity of the sprain and the patient’s recovery progress.

Yes, it is generally safe to take medications for ankle sprain pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help reduce inflammation and manage discomfort. In more severe cases, a healthcare provider may recommend stronger medications. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s guidance when taking any medication, especially if you have other health conditions or are on additional medications.
Yes, there are several self-care techniques and exercises that can help with an ankle sprain. Initially, rest, ice, and elevation can help reduce swelling and pain. Once the pain subsides, gentle range-of-motion and strengthening exercises can help restore mobility and prevent future sprains. Examples include ankle circles, towel stretches, and resistance band exercises. Physical therapy may be recommended to guide recovery and prevent long-term instability.
Yes, it’s important to limit activity after an ankle sprain to allow the injury to heal. Avoid high-impact activity, especially during the early stages of recovery. Using a brace may help to provide support and can also help protect the ankle. Gradually returning to physical activities is recommended, starting with low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling. Rushing back to high-impact activities before the ankle is fully healed can increase the risk of re-injury. Always follow your healthcare provider’s advice on when it’s safe to resume full activity.
