Ankle Sprain Treatment in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal injury — and the most commonly undertreated. At Balance Foot & Ankle Specialists, Dr. Tom Biernacki treats ankle sprains in Bloomfield Hills patients ranging from acute Grade I injuries to chronic ankle instability requiring surgical stabilization. Proper treatment prevents re-injury and long-term instability.

Symptoms We Treat

• Sudden pain and swelling after twisting the ankle
• Bruising around the ankle joint
• Difficulty bearing weight
• Feeling of ankle “giving way”
• Chronic instability with repeated sprains

Treatment Options

Ankle sprain treatment depends on severity. Acute sprains are managed with the PRICE protocol (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), NSAIDs, and early mobilization. Advanced care includes: MLS laser therapy to accelerate healing and reduce swelling, custom bracing and proprioceptive rehabilitation, custom orthotics to correct biomechanical risk factors, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for stubborn ligament healing, and for chronic instability — Broström lateral ankle stabilization surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a podiatrist for an ankle sprain in Bloomfield Hills?

See a podiatrist if you cannot bear weight, have significant swelling or bruising, or if pain persists beyond 2–3 days. Untreated ligament injuries can lead to chronic instability and recurring sprains.

Can a sprained ankle heal on its own?

Grade I sprains often heal with home care. Grade II and III sprains require professional evaluation and treatment to heal properly. Without treatment, you risk chronic instability and future injury.
