What Is an Ankle Sprain?

An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments that support your ankle stretch or tear—usually due to a sudden twist, roll, or fall. This is one of the most common sports injuries, but it can happen during daily activities as well.

Types of ankle sprains:

Grade I (Mild): Slight stretching or microscopic tearing of ligaments
Grade II (Moderate): Partial ligament tearing, swelling, and bruising
Grade III (Severe): Complete ligament tear and significant instability

Symptoms of an Ankle Sprain

Sudden pain after twisting the ankle
Swelling, bruising, or tenderness
Difficulty bearing weight or walking
Instability or a “wobbly” ankle
Popping sound at the time of injury (in more severe sprains)

If your pain is lasting more than a few days or affecting your movement, professional treatment is essential.
