Ankle Sprains in Children

Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in children, especially those who participate in sports and high-impact activities. They occur when the ligaments supporting the ankle are stretched or torn, usually due to a sudden twist, fall, or awkward landing. Ankle sprains can vary in severity, from mild discomfort and swelling to severe pain, bruising, and difficulty walking.

Repeated ankle sprains can lead to long-term weakness and instability, making children more prone to future injuries. If left untreated, an unstable ankle can affect balance, coordination, and overall movement, impacting both daily activities and sports performance.

At The Foot Room, we assess ankle sprains through our children’s biomechanical pathway, using advanced gait analysis to identify any underlying issues that may increase the risk of future injuries. Treatment may include rehabilitation exercises to restore strength and stability, temporary strapping or bracing, custom orthotics for additional support, and footwear advice to protect the ankle and improve recovery. Our goal is to help your child heal properly and prevent further sprains, keeping them active and confident in their movement.
