Did you know that there are approximately 1 million ankle injuries per year, and of those injuries, 85% are ankle sprains? Many ankle sprains go untreated, and  85-90% of untreated ankle sprains will reoccur, possibly resulting in  a condition called chronic ankle instability, where the ankle feels as if it is constantly going to give out, even while performing simple tasks, such as walking.  With proper physical therapy, the number of reoccurring ankle sprains can be brought down to only 35%!
