Recovering from a sprained ankle depends on the severity of the injury:
- Grade I (mild): 1–2 weeks
- Grade II (moderate): 3–6 weeks
- Grade III (severe): 8+ weeks, sometimes requiring advanced rehab
To recover as quickly and safely as possible, focus on:
- R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) in the first 48 hours
- Gradual movement and weight-bearing as tolerated
- Physical therapy – strengthening and balance exercises help prevent future sprains
- Proprioception training to restore ankle stability
- Regenerative therapies (like PRP) can speed healing in stubborn or repeated sprains
At Medici, we often combine manual therapy, e-stim, ultrasound, and personalized rehab programs to get you back to your sport, job, or daily life—without setbacks.
