Title: CHRONIC ANKLE SPRAIN - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: I sprained my ankle when I slipped off a step.  I went to my doctor and was given a brace and anti-inflammatory and was told that it was a soft tissue injury that would take a few weeks to heal since my x-ray was negative.  But months later, my ankle continued to swell if I turned the wrong way.  I could not run or jump without sharp pain.  I went back to my doctor and had an MRI, and they found aa slight tear in my ligament.  Again I was told that it would heal in time. I was depressed because I could no longer exercise.  I am only 27 and thought I was crippled for the rest of my life.  My friend told me that her brother was treated for his work ankle injury through telePT, and his symptoms sounded similar to mine.  – PowerPoint PPT presentation
