About Sprain

A sprain is a common orthopedic injury involving the stretching or tearing of ligaments, the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect bones at a joint. Most frequently affecting the ankles, wrists, and knees, sprains occur when a joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, often due to a fall, twist, or impact. Orthopedic management focuses on accurate diagnosis to rule out fractures, followed by a structured treatment plan centered on the RICE protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). For severe sprains, advanced interventions like bracing, physical therapy, or, in rare cases, surgery may be necessary to restore stability and full function to the joint. Proper treatment is crucial to prevent chronic instability and long-term complications.

Key Highlights

    Non-surgical management is effective for the vast majority of sprains.Structured rehabilitation helps restore strength, flexibility, and proprioception (joint position sense).Prevents chronic joint instability and reduces the risk of re-injury.Minimizes pain and swelling through immediate first-aid protocols.Helps patients return to daily activities and sports safely and efficiently.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
