To treat joint and ankle problems, the best solution is probably physiotherapy and ultrasound. A sprained ankle tends to cause severe pain along with inflammation. As a result, it will make it hard for you to move around as you do before having this problem. Over years, more and more people, especially women seem to get their ankles sprained. The sad news is that most of sprained ankles are not treated as they should be. The problem may get worse if not treated soonest. For instance, severe pain in ankle or weak ankle will not be able to carry your body weight, making it nearly impossible for you to walk easily. The immediate solution is to check with a physio in Perth for physiotherapy treatments like ultrasound. Sprained ankles have been classified into two types. At times, a small turn or tip can cause the ankle to tilt or get sprained. In serious cases, though, the ankle turns sore and inflamed through ligament tear. The later condition is more common than the former. A patient with this condition cannot even stand properly, let alone walk or run. For accurate diagnosis of the problem, ankle physiotherapy and ultrasound are performed. Then physiotherapy treatments are usually suggested for treatment. After examination, your physio can do an X-Ray in order to determine whether or not the bone is cracked. To make the ankle muscle more flexible, the physio will let the patient do exercise and techniques. This will allow some time to the affected ligaments to heal up through. Besides, your physiotherapist can as well suggest that you do some easy stretching techniques as well as movements for achieving mobility. Ultrasound (aka Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) or TENS involves electric pulse for the stimulation of the injured part. Oftentimes, heat therapy can also be carried out for the same purpose. This therapy, for the most part, tends to improve blood circulation in the injured area. At iPhysio Perth clinic both ankle physiotherapy and TENS are used together in order to increase the affectivity. Here it is worth noting that some studies go against this combination. These studies claim that this combination can affect heart rate. On the flip side, some studies are very much in favor of this combination.
