Don’t Let Ankle Sprains Keep You on the SidelinesThe ligaments in the ankle hold the bones together and protect the ankle joint from turning, twisting, and rolling. Athletes and non-athletes alike can experience ankle sprains frequently. For those who don’t participate in sports, simply stepping down on an uneven surface could cause an ankle sprain. However, there are steps you can take to decrease your chances of suffering a sprain. In order to avoid an ankle sprain, the sports medicine doctors at Orthopaedic Associates recommend performing the following ankle-strengthening exercises on a regular basis.
“Performing these exercises will help strengthen the muscles surrounding your ankles, providing protection for those ligaments,” explains Dr. Joseph R. Agostinelli, podiatrist at Orthopaedic Associates. If you’ve experienced an ankle sprain, call (850) 316-8066 to schedule an appointment with one of the sports medicine doctors at Orthopaedic Associates.
