Home / Conditions / Ankle sprain
A rolled ankle stretches the ligaments on the outside. Most heal well — but the ankles that go on to sprain again and again are the ones that never did the balance training.
These are the rules we use to decide.
Only if one of the rules in the red box applies.
There are validated rules for exactly this, and they safely avoid a great many unnecessary X-rays.
Because the ligament injury dulls the ankle's position sense.
That is what causes repeat sprains. Restoring it measurably reduces the chance of it happening again — and it takes a few minutes a day.
No, and it is treatable.
Persistent instability after a sprain responds to a proper rehabilitation programme, and to surgery in a minority.
Pictures, how many and how often, and what it should feel like. Free, and printable.
In your language, free to download. Each one is a short PDF you can keep on your phone or print.
On cost: if we suggest a scan, an injection or an operation, ask us what it costs and what happens if you do nothing. We will answer both. You should never feel pushed into spending money.
Consultation is ₹500 for a first visit and ₹300 for a follow-up, the same at both clinics. For anything else, ask at the desk or on WhatsApp before it is done — we will tell you the exact cost.
A page is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If the pain is not settling, come in and have it looked at properly — bring any X-ray, MRI or CT films you already have.
