Twisted Ankle
A twisted ankle isn't always 'just a sprain' — proper evaluation rules out fractures and ligament tears.
A twisted ankle happens when the foot rolls inward, outward, or twists awkwardly under your body weight. While many resolve with rest and ice, others involve hidden fractures, ligament tears, or cartilage damage that don't heal on their own.
If you can't bear weight, see significant swelling or bruising, or have pain that doesn't improve in 2–3 days, get it evaluated. We use clinical exam plus imaging when needed to rule out fractures and grade ligament injuries accurately.
