Ankle Sprains ! The Immediate Cure !!
Question: Ankle Sprains ! The Immediate Cure !
Correct me if I am wrong but is it possible to cure a sprained ankle on the spot!.!.!. (i'm not really sure if this was a sprained ankle)
I am asking this question because I went hiking a few days ago with so family and friends, and my 15 year old female cosin triped over something and fell to the ground!. She was obivously in pain as she did not get up and was holding her ankle, when my uncle came all he did was observe it and then took both hands grabed her foot (one hand on heel and another on toe area) and gave a quick twist and all of a sudden she was able to walk, run, and jump normally again!.
What did my uncle do!? If you know the answer plzzzzzzz tell me the steps he took in order to do this!?
PS!. Plzz dont say just ask my uncle he lives pretty far away and even if i try to phone him he never picks up!.

Answers:
it sounds to me as though she dislocated something (a bone got stuck in the wrong spot); he manipulated her foot and whatever was out of place slipped back to where it belongs!.
i have experienced this myself with my own ankle in the last few days, although i did not realize something was out of place until i happened to pop it back while trying to move it around, and the pain stopped!. this is an ankle i have repeatedly injured, so the ligaments don't always hold everything in place!. i have also dislocated a knee; the pain was excruciating until a trainer moved my leg in such a way that the knee cap slid right back to the top (where it belongs, damnit!)
dislocations are more common among those who are highly flexible, and tall adolescent women seem to be especially prone to problems with this stuff!. the overdevelopment or weakness of certain muscles surrounding a joint can encourage misalignment, and of course a blow or fall can do it as well!.
i would not recommend trying to fix a dislocation yourself, unless you have been specifically trained to do so and know what the heck you are doing, or you could make matters much MUCH worse!.
