ANKLE SPRAINS
A sprained ankle, or twisted ankle, is a ligament injury. It occurs when the ligaments that support and stabilize the ankle stretch beyond their limits and tear. Ankle sprains range from mild to severe, depending upon how much damage there is to the ligaments.
Most sprained ankles occur in the lateral ligaments, those on the outside of the ankle. Your ankle becomes painful to walk on and swollen. Proper treatment and rehabilitation can help support recovery and reduce the risk of reinjury.
SportVis® is a treatment option that not only provides pain relief from acute first- and second-degree ankle sprains, but also reduces reinjury.*
How treatment works*Clinical studies showed that SportVis® significantly reduced the number of recurrent ankle sprains vs. placebo.

Ankle ligament injuries aren’t limited to athletes.
While sports with jumping, twisting, or changes of direction can cause a sprain, there are many potential causes. Walking on uneven surfaces, falling, improper footwear, and previous ankle injuries can make someone more likely to sprain their ankle.
