Sprained ankle joint vs. holistic
approach
Recently, we were visited by a patient with a second degree sprain of the ankle joint. Orthopedist recommended wearing a splint on the limb for two weeks. For such a small injury wearing a splint can contribute to creating blockages in another joints. Because of that, unfortunately, we’re dealing with a couple of problems, instead of just one. Pain sensations in the joint are also caused by the blocked musculo-fascial chains, which are always blocked by the nervous system just in case, as it’s not aware of the level of damage.
In the attached file we present the consequences caused by the splint. Additionally, the patient had knee and hip joints dysfunctions. Thanks to the hard work of our physiotherapist, she said goodbye to this burdensome problem. Our physiotherapist needed only two sessions whereas the standard rehabilitation requires about 2 to 3 months.
Dear patients, remember that not every injury needs a splint. It is important to listen to the opinion of more than one specialist.
