If you’ve ever sprained your ankle and thought, “this isn’t a big deal…it’s a minor injury,” you’re not alone. Ankle sprains are among the most common musculoskeletal injuries, especially in active adults and athletes. However, for some patients, what begins as a simple sprain becomes a frustrating cycle in which the ankle feels weak, unstable, and prone to “rolling” again and again. Understanding why this happens is the first step toward breaking the cycle and restoring long-term stability.
February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and its far-reaching effects. While most people recognize the importance of heart health for longevity and disease prevention, fewer realize its critical role in musculoskeletal well-being. At North Florida Bone & Joint Specialists, we emphasize a comprehensive approach to orthopaedic care, recognizing that a strong heart supports strong bones and joints.
