Strains and Sprains
Research Updates - June 2011
Wukich, D & Tuason, D (2011), ‘Diagnosis and treatment of chronic ankle pain’, Instr Course Lect., 60, pp:335-50.
The authors of the above article suggest that one in 5 sprains leads to chronic ankle pain (and that often, people don’t recall the initial trauma behind the chronic pain). This is even more of a reason to get adequate treatment for sprains and strains when they initially occur, as this may help to prevent more pain in the future!
