Ankle sprains can happen at a moment’s notice and are extremely painful, if not debilitating.
If left untreated, sprained ankles can cause other chronic conditions to develop over time and have the potential to alter your ability to follow through with your personal or professional obligations.

Treating Sprained Ankles
Patients tend to sprain their ankle after accidentally rolling their foot while walking or exercising, as well as by tearing the ligaments that help keep your ankle stabilized when in motion. Walking over uneven surfaces and falling on slippery surfaces are also common causes of sprained ankles.
To determine the most appropriate treatment plan, a complete examination is required to understand the exact location, depth, and size of your injury. Using state-of-the-art imaging devices, our Atlanta Chiropractors can create a comprehensive 3D view of the ankle injury – essentially acting as a blueprint for how treatment should be rendered.
