What Are the Treatments for Inflamed Ligaments of the Foot?
Ligaments are strong, flexible fibers of tissue that connect to bones. They become inflamed typically as a result of recent injury, such as a tearing of the ligament caused by a sprain. When this occurs, the tissue around the affected ligament becomes red, swollen, painful and difficult to move. Fortunately, because injuries like these are common, treatments are both abundant and straightforward.
