Los Angeles Lakers, Julius Randle, is still suffering from ankle problems. His initial battle with ankle injuries occurred during a game against the Nuggets where he was forced to sit out the second half. It was said the forward might be on the roster for Christmas, but with his condition and visits with specialists soon, it is unknown as to when he will return.
Ankle sprains are common, but need immediate attention. If you have any concerns about your potential ankle sprain, consult with Dr. Harris L. Klear from Burlington County Podiatry Associates. Our doctor will assist you with all of your podiatric concerns.
How Does an Ankle Sprain Occur?
Ankle sprains take place when the ligaments in your ankle are torn or stretched beyond their limits. There are multiple ways that the ankle can become injured, including twisting or rolling over onto your ankle, putting undue stress on it, or causing trauma to the ankle itself.

Treatment of a Sprain
Treatment of a sprain depends on the severity. Many times, people are told to rest and remain off their feet completely, while others are given an air cast. If the sprain is very severe, surgery may be required.
If you have suffered an ankle sprain previously, you may want to consider additional support such as a brace and regular exercises to strengthen the ankle.
