question reguarding sprain?

Question:

okay. so i sprained my foot/ankle 8 months ago. the ankle healed. the foot did not. now my dr. says i need cortizone and a cast. if that doesn't work. surgery i'm guessing. any opinions on this? has anyone experienced this or can offer some help? would i be in a cast after the surgery too?

Answers:
I would definitely seek something more conservative first.meaning not drugs or surgery. Give your body a chance to heal itself first! Find yourself a really good chiropractor who has a solid reputation in sports injuries. Ask around.don't just go by ads because those can be misleading. Not any chiropractor will do.he or she must know about extremity (arms, legs) injuries and have a really good reputation.
A chiropractor can be helpful in this situation because you may have misalignments in your foot joints from the sprain. A chiropractor can help to restore proper motion for good function. Without good motion and function, trauma and inflammation continue, and the tissues cannot heal properly. Also, the chiropractor may recommend certain nutritional supplements to facilitate tissue healing. Best of luck to you!
