​When you're in pain, what do you do?  Many people don't do anything for their pain and just hope it will go away soon. While sometimes it does go away, it ALWAYS comes back.

Remember that time when you fell down playing basketball and heard 3 loud pops while falling to the ground?  No! That's what happened to me during a fun-filled weekend trip as a young basketball player.

I was going for an easy layup shot and sure enough my friend attempted to block the shot and his foot was left under mine, long story long, I missed the shot and laid on the ground for a good 10-15 mins.

Initially I iced the ankle but what was more remarkable was walking.  I tightened up my shoe laces then began walking.  The pain started to settle and the swelling got smaller.  I began to perform some pumping ankle movements and loosened the stiffness even more.  Before you know it, I was walking 80% better.  MOVEMENT IS KEY!  

No matter where you're feeling pain, there is a treatment out there or an exercise that can help you become pain free. Here at Midwest Sport + Spine, we offer a variety of services such as chiropractic adjustments, active release, dry needling, therapeutic ultrasound and physical therapy to help with pain management.
