If, however, the injury is severe, one treatment option that might be […]

By: | Tags: , ,

Most of us have experienced it at one time or another: we sprain a wrist, an ankle, or another joint. Instead of being met with sympathy, our friends and family minimize the injury, telling us it’s “only” a sprain and how lucky we are that we didn’t break a bone. Ankle sprains are particularly common – tens of thousands of Americans sprain their ankles each year, and many assume that the injury has little bearing on future ankle health.   New studies, however, suggest that an ankle sprain may be […]

By: | Tags: , , ,

It’s no secret that cosmetic surgery has become mainstream in the U.S. over the past few decades.
