Winter in Wisconsin is picturesque, but icy conditions can make slips and falls more common, often resulting in ankle injuries. Sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots become hazardous, leading to painful sprains, strains, and fractures. MH Imaging offers imaging services such as X-rays and MRIs, providing accurate diagnoses to support fast and effective treatment for winter ankle injuries.
Common Ankle Injuries from Winter Slips
When you slip on ice, the impact can force your ankle to twist or turn, causing injuries like:
- Sprains: Ligament damage from overstretching or tears
- Strains: Injury to muscles or tendons
- Fractures: Breaks or cracks in the bone
Without a proper diagnosis, these injuries may lead to lasting pain or complications.
