Advanced treatment for ankle sprains and other sports injuries

Ankle sprains are the #1 lower limb injury during sports practice in the UK. The burden of this injury on the healthcare system and those suffering from it is enormous. However it is often overlooked or not given the importance it deserves. Some doctors might consider it a “trivial” injury or they might be tied to the past with outdated treatments.
