Prompt medical attention is crucial for patients presenting with a sprained ankle, as untreated injuries can lead to long-term consequences including instability, chronic pain, and reduced mobility. Ankle sprains, if left unaddressed, may result in swelling, limited movement, and even arthritis. Recurrent sprains are more likely in individuals with a history of untreated injuries. Early intervention, within 4 to 6 weeks post-injury, is vital to prevent complications. Physiotherapy interventions, including hands-on treatments and electrotherapeutic modalities, help alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and promote faster recovery, minimising the risk of complications and improving overall outcomes.
