A member asked:
How do i know if my ankle bones are misaligned after an ankle sprain? my doc didn't realign my ankle bones by joint manipulation. is this compulsory

Xray: An x-ray would show you the alignment of the bones. If your injury only resulted in spraining of the ankle joint ligaments, the joint should still be in alignment. Only if your ankle joint was dislocated would realignment be required.

Ankle sprain: If you had an x-ray which i'm sure you did it would show if bones would be in improper position which would be a dislocation . If you had x-ray then no it's not compulsory.
