Sprains

Serving the Greater San Bernardino County Area including Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Fontana, Upland, CA

Sprains are a common injury involving a stretched or torn ligament. They can be caused by rolling your ankle or wrist incorrectly, wearing unsupportive shoes, engaging in physical activity, or tripping. Overuse or having weak muscles can also trigger the development of a sprain.

While mild sprains normally improve on their own with little to no assistance, there are situations where your sprained limb might need extra support. Participating in a wellness session may help support comfort and mobility as part of your routine after a sprain.

Many guests choose to combine more than one of these wellness services as part of their recovery routine. 

  • Can Your Services Prevent Future Sprains?

Our wellness services can be part of a routine that may help your body stay prepared for activity and less vulnerable to future injuries, including sprains. Not only may wellness services support you through what you’re currently experiencing, but they can also be part of supporting your overall wellness to help your body handle future challenges. 

Receiving regular wellness services may help ease muscle and joint tightness and support your muscles as they rebuild after activity. Potential benefits include better endurance during workouts, support for your recovery routine, and muscles that may feel better prepared for activity. 

  • Do I Need a Referral from a Doctor to Book a Session?

No, you aren’t required to have a referral from a doctor to try one of our wellness services. We encourage you to schedule a session with us at any time! Since we are a wellness facility and not a medical facility, our services are readily available and always accessible to the public. 

However, for moderate to severe sprains, we do recommend advising your doctor first just to be on the safe side. Your safety and well-being is our upmost priority. 

  • When is it Safe to Start Recovery Services After a Sprain?

The best time to book your recovery session after experiencing a sprain is to wait until the acute symptoms have decreased. A few days after you received your injury is most suitable. 

In the meantime, many people find icing the affected area helps with comfort; follow your doctor's guidance for your injury. Extra rest and elevating the affected limb, as advised by your healthcare provider, may also help you feel more comfortable. 

After some of the swelling and pain has gone down, you can turn to our wellness services, which may help ease lingering soreness and stiffness. 

  • How Soon Will I Notice Improvements?

After your first session or two, you may already notice a difference in how you feel. However, everyone’s experience will vary. 

Many guests say they feel a difference within the first week of receiving consistent wellness services. The more severe the sprain, the longer the recovery. Many guests choose to try more than one wellness service as part of their recovery routine.
