Successful Treatment of an Ankle Sprain
A 32 year old female was referred to me for a 2nd to 3rd degree ankle sprain. She fell down some stairs on July 9th, and had been seen and xrayed. She was initially told by the M.D. that she had a lateral malleolus fracture, but this reading was overruled by the radiologist. She did follow up and was placed in a supportive brace boot. She then started working with a doctor of physical therapy. She worked full time and was in school at night that required a lot of time on her feet.

She was referred to me by P.T on August 3rd. Her pain level during the day was a 6 out of 10, and she reports about a 40% improvement overall since her initial injury and working with physical therapy. On exam, she had significant tenderness in the area of the calcaneo fibular ligament and dorsal surface of her foot. In speaking with the physical therapist, she estimated the patients recovery time as of August 3rd to be an additional 6 to 8 weeks. We applied 2 FASTT herbal patches to the lateral ankle and dorsal foot over the course of 5 days. After 5 days, she reported her pain completely resolved and when she returned the next week to see the physical therapist the therapist was quite amazed. She stated that the patients ankle sprain was healed and that she now prescribed exercise to strengthen the ankle.
