How to repair joints that have been stretched too much by sprains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Joint Rehabilitation: Joints which have been sprained may heal with weakness in the ligaments and surrounding musculature which make the joint more vulnerable to recurrent injuries. This is usually addressed through physical therapy, via specific stretching and strengthening exercises.
