Hello,

Most ankle sprains do heal on their own within about 6-8 weeks' time, depending on the severity and mechanism of the sprain. Some more severe sprains require treatment and rehabilitation and may not fully heal and may develop scar tissue and fibrosis, which causes pain, lack of mobility, and poor blood flow. Those types of chronic ankle sprains require more aggressive post-injury rehabilitation including mobilization, ultrasound, therapeutic exercise, and possible acupuncture not restore proper pain-free function.
