Professional podiatry assessment and treatment for ankle sprains, strains, and ongoing ankle instability.

An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments that support the ankle joint are stretched or torn, usually after the ankle rolls or twists unexpectedly. Ankle injuries can range from mild ligament strains to more severe damage involving swelling, bruising, and instability.
While many people try to “walk it off,” ankle injuries that are not properly assessed and managed can lead to ongoing pain, weakness, or repeated sprains.
At Norwest Podiatry, we assess ankle injuries thoroughly and provide treatment plans that support healing and help prevent future ankle problems.




Mild sprains may heal in a few weeks, while more severe injuries can take longer. Proper care reduces recovery time and re-injury risk.
