Piedmont foot care specialist
If you are experiencing any type of foot problem, you will want to contact us at Premier Foot & Ankle Center, LLC for care. Our Piedmont foot care specialist, just one of whom is Dr. Carol A. Barrette, can provide you with complete care for any of your foot problems, including ankle sprains.
If you experiencing ankle sprain, it is important that you come in to see our Piedmont foot care specialist to have your ankle examined. Sometimes, a sprain can be minimal, and will not go on to cause any additional problems. However, there are situations when a patient has an ankle sprain, and if not effectively treated, it will have problems healing, and can develop other painful conditions. In fact, if you have an ankle sprain, time is of the essence. The best medical results will be achieved for you when you immediately come in to see our foot doctor for care. Our foot doctor will be able to determine the extent of the injury, and which type of treatment is needed. She will also be able to confirm that your ankle is not broken and it is instead sprained. When a person has an ankle sprain, it means that the ligaments in the ankle have been stretched and possibly even torn. If an ankle sprain is more serious, and not simply a minor injury, the affected area of the sprain can develop long-term joint pain and weakness. The best course of action is to always immediately come in to see our foot doctor so that proper treatment can be determined and provided. Often times when you sprain your ankle, your ankle will start to swell and may even immediately bruise. The ankle can also be tender to the touch, and will hurt to move it. In more severe sprains, you may even hear or feel something tear in your ankle. Sometimes you may hear a popping or snapping noise. If you experience any type of ankle sprain, contact us for an emergency appointment to see our Piedmont foot care specialist.
