A sprain is an injury to the ligaments. It typically involves stretching of the ligaments beyond their normal range of motion, which can lead to small tears in the ligament fibers. This generally causes pain, swelling, bruising and a feeling of instability in the ankle joint.
The most common cause for a sprained ankle is an impact injury to one leg from another or from falling onto an outstretched foot with the other leg. The force of this impact stretches out the ligaments on one side of the ankle, while also twisting it on that same side.
The injury may be caused by the twisting of the ankle or by landing on it. It can also occur due to a medical condition such as osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis.
The common symptoms of a sprained ankle are pain, swelling and bruising at the site of injury. Other symptoms include numbness, tingling and weakness in the foot or toes.
It is important to know the signs of a sprained ankle. This will help you take appropriate action when one occurs.
Signs and symptoms:
-
Pain and tenderness around your ankle
-
Swelling and redness
-
Bruising
-
Limited range of motion and inability to place your full weight on your injured foot
How to heal a sprained ankle
A sprain is a minor injury, a minor tear. It’s not as bad as a broken bone.
The ankle is a tricky joint, and spraining it can be painful and debilitating. A sprain can happen from stepping on something sharp or from twisting the foot to the side too far.
A person with a sprain will feel pain, swelling, bruising, and stiffness in different degrees depending on how bad the injury is. The good news is that many people recover from a sprained ankle without any complications or permanent damage as long as they heal themselves properly. However, if left to heal on its’ own, a sprained ankle can become a chronic problem that forces you to move less.
In fact, new research suggests you could take a few thousands less steps a day for the rest of your life… So, it is crucial that you heal a sprained ankle correctly. In addition, a sprained ankle can eventually cause other issues, including knee, hip and low back pain, because you will be forced to walk and run differently, which puts stress on the joints above it. The point is this… even though it is a less serious injury than some other joints (knee, low back, etc), you still have to take it seriously and heal it properly.
The key to healing a sprained ankle fully and fast, is doing a good ankle rehab program to improve strength, stability and healthy range of motion. It helps you heal much faster and significantly better based off studies and recent research. he ankle just cannot rehab itself. Without it, the ankle remains stiff, unstable and weak. So, you can either go see a really good physical therapist or try our at home ankle rehab – HEM Ankle Rehab. Over 100,000 people have used it to heal their ankles fully and fast at home. Whatever you do, please take control of your injury and do something sooner than later to help yourself heal fully.
Secret of the Pros
Everything You Need To Heal At Home
So, Why Rehab?
Most people think rest and ice will heal their ankle (even a severe sprain), but they end up with chronic ankle instability… 30% still have pain one year later!
And that causes all kinds of muscle imbalances in the body, which can lead more serious injuries, repeated ankle sprains and chronic ankle pain. It’s a terrible domino effect that can last for life.
That’s Where Rehab Comes In.
A great rehab program significantly improves how a sprained ankle heals. It eliminates pain fast and ensures your ankles are strong and stable with healthy range of motion, which helps prevent future sprains.
Rehab Is The Key To
Healing Ankle Injuries Fast
Recent studies have shown that rehab heals ankle ligaments safely and effectively. It’s the difference between the people that don’t heal a sprained ankle and the ones that do!

Fifteen years ago, I had to give up what I love doing most… playing basketball. I sprained my ankles so many times that I could no longer play. It was devastating.
Like you, I used R.I.C.E. (rest, ice elevation, compression), but my ankles healed so slowly and badly, they eventually got so weak, I would sprain them just walking down the street!
Being a fitness trainer, the only thing I had going for me was a fascination with helping people get out of pain and strengthening their bodies.
So, I decided to research all the cutting edge techniques to heal an ankle sprain much faster and better than R.I.C.E.
After months of research, I discovered that icing an injury can have a negative affect on the body’s healing process. Studies show that ice can actually slow down healing and too much rest left the ankles weak and unstable. This was shocking, but only part of the story…
New research was suggesting a much more proactive approach to healing that involved much better rehab techniques proven to dramatically speed up the speed and quality of the healing process.
Instead of months, healing took only days. And, if you had a chronically weak ankle that was in pain, these techniques would quickly strengthen and stabilize the ankles.
I kept improving on these techniques, drawing from many different disciplines and simplified them.
Eventually, after many more months of trial and error, I created a simple at-home healing system with very reliable results.
Since I was a fitness trainer, I was able to help all my clients (celebrities and athletes) whenever they got injured. I was even on the news a few times.
The response from my clients and friends was so overwhelming that a few of them eventually convinced me to share it with everyone.
Today, I am humbled that over 100,000 people have healed fully and fast with my program.
So, if you have any kind of ankle injury (new or old), just follow along with me in the videos and I’ll show you exactly what to do until you are completely pain free.
My message is simple… you do not have to give up what you love. And you do not have to live with chronic pain from old injuries. Life is too short and there is a better way!
I truly hope you will start using my program so you can get your life back and do what you love, pain free (and yes, I still play basketball every week and LOVE it!)
Thank you!
