all of the micro-movements that your ankle has to make while trying to balance actually stretch and mobilize the structures in the joint capsule and the smaller ligaments and tendons in the ankle.
These bones are held together at the ankle joint by ligaments, which are strong elastic bands of connective tissue that keep the bones in place while allowing normal ankle motion. Tendons attach muscles to the bones to do the work of making the ankle and foot move, and help keep the ...

If the diagnosis of a medial ankle sprain is uncertain, an MRI scan may be performed. Unlike x-rays, which predominantly show bone, an MRI scan is able to reveal the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage of the ankle. If the deltoid ligament is injured, the scan will show either fluid withi...
Mild (grade I).Your ligaments are stretched but not torn. Your ankle still feels stable. You may have some pain and stiffness. Moderate (grade II).One or more ligaments are partially torn. The joint isn’t totally stable, and you can’t move it as much as usual. You have swelling an...
The foot and ankle support mobility and balance, comprising a complex structure of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Injuries or conditions, such as sprains or arthritis, can impair function and require proper diagnosis and treatment.Subscribe...
Bromelain: It is an enzyme, which you can find in pineapple and it can help with the process of healing thanks to its anti-inflammatory effect. Collagen: Ligaments and tendons are made of collagen, so taking in collagen can help with the recovery. ...
Platelet activation plays a key role in the body’s natural healing process. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each ind...
Acute ankle sprainsare initially treated with ice, rest, and limiting the amount of walking and weight-bearing on the injured ankle. The leg can be elevated to reduce swelling, and crutches are often recommended to avoid further trauma to the injured ligaments. ...
