Best Practice Case Studies-High Ankle Sprain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Brett DeGoyer, a specialist in primary care sports medicine, discusses the management of a high ankle sprain, specifically focusing on the anterior tibiofibular ligament (ATIFL). Initial sideline management includes osteopathic manipulative treatment to alleviate pain and promote drainage, such as effleurage and counterstrain techniques. As recovery progresses, more aggressive treatments like articulatory and muscle energy treatments help restore motion and strength. These methods complement physical therapy and aim to reduce stiffness while facilitating the healing process. The approach involves gentle mobilization and controlled resistance exercises to support rehabilitation.
