Overview
An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments supporting the joint are stretched or torn, often during sport, exercise, or a simple misstep. Although many sprains seem minor, proper rehabilitation is essential — injuries that heal incompletely can lead to chronic instability and repeated injury.
Dr. Melamed designs each rehabilitation plan around your specific injury and activity level, guiding recovery carefully so you can return to movement safely and with confidence.
