Sprains are classified into three levels:<\/p>\n<p>Grade 1-a stretching of the ligament causing pain but no tear; Grade 2-a significant stretching with partial tearing of the fibers; Grade 3-complete rupture of the ligament with possible bone damage. The recurrence of sprains is common.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Physiotherapists are there for you!<\/h3>\n<p>Physiotherapists will be able to give you the best treatments to heal your sprain as well as the best exercises to avoid a recurrence.
