Symptoms

Common Symptoms of Ankle Sprain

Experiencing an ankle sprain can be quite an ordeal, but having a keen awareness of its common symptoms can help you manage it better. Key signs include:

  • Sharp pain particularly when trying to move or put weight on the affected ankle.
  • Swelling in the area which often goes hand in hand with bruising.
  • Limited mobility of the ankle characterized by difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

Symptom Variability

Remember that these symptoms can vary in intensity depending on the severity of the injury. Mild sprains might only cause slight discomfort, while severe ones could render the patient incapable of movements involving the ankle.

Warning Signs for Professional Help

If you’re experiencing acute pain, inability to bear weight on the ankle, or if symptoms persist for more than a week without improvement, it’s potentially a severe sprain or could even be a fracture.

Causes

Understanding the roots of ailments is pivotal for effective treatment and prevention – and the case of ankle sprains is no exception. Ankle sprains are most commonly caused by sudden twists or turns that tear the ligaments in the ankle. These abrupt movements might occur while participating in sports, taking a misstep, or due to an unlucky fall.

Common Causes of Ankle Sprains

  • Incorrect Footwear: Inappropriate or unsupportive shoes can unpredictably twist the foot.
  • Uneven Surfaces: Walking or running on uneven ground increases the risk.
  • Sports Participation: High-impact sports can contribute due to swift, irregular movements.

Common Factors of Ankle Sprains

  • Previous Injuries: Prior ankle sprains heighten susceptibility.
  • Poor Physical Condition: Weak or inflexible muscles are not adept at handling sudden strains.
  • Fatigue: As fatigue sets in, so does the risk of sprains.

Treatment at Studioathletica Clinic

In our Sports Medicine Centre at Push Pounds in Toronto, a number of exceptional and innovative treatment options are available to address the problems associated with Ankle Sprains. With the use of cutting-edge medical technologies and a panel of highly qualified medical professionals, recovery and regaining strength is a near certainty.

We offer a range of treatments including:

Viscosupplementation & Hyaluronic Acid Injection: This process enhances the viscosity of the synovial fluid, thereby improving the functional properties of the ankle joint and facilitating pain-free movement.

Regenerative Medicine: This novel approach involves an injection of your biomaterials that promote the body’s natural healing process and regenerates damaged ankle tissue.

Orthopaedic Surgery and Interventional Radiology: For severe ankle sprains, surgery may be a beneficial approach in conjunction with interventional radiology to accurately diagnose and treat the problem.

Specific pharmaceutical injections like DUROLANE, SYNVISC, and NSTRIDE are also utilised under professional supervision for targeted treatment. They act as superb substitutes for synovial fluid and help in reliving the pain in the sprained ankle.

Apart from these, we also endorse a unique blend of PRP Injection therapy, allied health services like chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT massage, massage therapy, and acupuncture. These therapeutic treatments, administered by our team of certified professionals, can both relieve ankle sprain discomfort and contribute to faster recovery.

I had an injury in my disc that was life altering. I had pain 24/7 and I could no longer live my normal life. I couldn’t sit at work, no more sports, gym, exercise and I gained a lot of weight. I went to many physio sessions, chiro’s, RMT, cold bats, etc at other clinics, but I was still in pain. I decided that I needed a real plan to get control over my life. I asked around and I was referred to Studio Pushpounds. My friends indicated NBA players, EPL, NHL players fly and/or come here for treatment when they are in Toronto. If the best of the world trusts this clinic, then it would surely be good enough for me. My doctor was Dr. Darrin Germann. Dr. German is my hero. He spent time to properly diagnose my issue and create a gameplan that was altered after every session based on progression. Every time I entered his room, he was reviewing our notes, and like a mad genius planning out that day’s sessions. He knows each case personally, and I could tell he was invested in my health. And in turn, I put in my 100% efforts to what he wanted me to do not just in the clinic, but outside of it. I’m now back in the gym, swimming, and pain free. If you are dedicated to fixing your problems, I highly recommend you see Dr. Germann. Dr. Germanns character is class, and he is very professional. The man is a stud and a great inspiration and a role model you need when going through injuries. He does what he preaches, and it shows in his own physique and lifestyle in terms of diet and workouts. He is going to do big things in his field and if you are lucky enough to see him for your treatment, he is the miracle you have been looking for. Thank you, Doc., You already know how much my life quality has changed.

The Push Pounds Sports Medicine Team is incredible! We researched four different clinics before choosing Push Pounds and deciding on Josh Irwanto as the main physiotherapist for our teen’s ACL recovery. The attention and level of care from the start of our recovery program was remarkable. Josh and Peter (second physiotherapist team member) took the time to explain the recovery plan while demonstrating compassion and understanding along the complete process. Our child felt motivated, supported and driven to work hard. Our family has immense gratitude towards the Push Pounds team and their knowledge + professionalism towards their patients recovery goals. Our teen is back playing on the field healthier and stronger than ever. A million thanks to Josh and his entire team!

If you’re recovering from an injury of ANY kind, look no further, Push Pounds/Studio Athletica is the ONLY place to go. After a nasty proximal humerus fracture, I was at a loss when it came time to start rehab. After endless searching and coming across Studio Athletica online, I found Physiotherapist Josh and decided to start my healing journey. Josh (alongside every single one of the support staff) has been an integral part of my healing not only physically, but mentally as well. You don’t really know the effects of a bad injury has on your entire wellbeing until it happens to you. And at 35 and never having broken a bone, I thought I was in the clear. ;) Josh’s dedication to my progress each week was what kept my spirits up. He knew when to push me and when not to and provided endless encouragement along the way. Physiotherapy included a combination of treatments on the table as well as mobility and strengthening in the gym. After months of this combo and being diligent about my at-home exercises, I’m confident in saying that I have my arm/shoulder back and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I must add.. during the time I was rehabilitating my shoulder, I had some foot injuries along the way. After an assessment from Josh during an appointment, he said that Chiropractor Dr. Germann was the person I should see. Everything that I said about Josh above can be echoed about Dr. G. Another gem of a human and incredibly knowledgeable about the craft of healing. Safe to say a have two working feet and back to walking many, many km’s a day. Long story short, if you want a dedicated team, top of the line treatment options, and a gym with all the equipment you could ever need, Push Pounds/ Studio Athletica is the place for you.

Late last year I developed achilles pain that was impacting my ability to play high-level sports so I was referred to Dr. Darrin Germann at Push Pounds/Studio Athletica. I saw Dr. Darrin weekly and the sessions were split between gym exercises (the facility is brand-new and has a fully equipped gym with turf) and treatments which allowed for a more holistic approach to my recovery. Dr. Darrin always had a game-plan ready for the day based on how I was feeling that week and adjusted as needed. He got me back on my feet playing on the national team for Ultimate frisbee within 4 months! The entire team is welcoming, friendly and well-organized. I can’t recommend it enough!
