Get Spring Started on the Right Foot
Injuries,
such as ankle sprains, occur often in the spring, when, after a sedentary
winter, people suddenly overdo their outdoor activities. So, ease into the season, doing
muscle-strengthening exercises, to reduce the chances of injury.
However,
if you get a sprain, the first 72 hours afterward are crucial; so start
treatment immediately, with R.I.C.E.
That means rest (as much as
possible), ice (20 minutes, four
times per day), compression (bandage
and immobilize it), and elevation
(prop it up, to minimize swelling).
Of
course, it’s best to see us for the proper diagnosis and treatment. Whatever the problem, we’ll help you heal
correctly, so you can start the season on the right foot.
