Sprains happen easily, from a misstep on stairs, sports, or even uneven sidewalks in San Antonio. You might notice swelling, bruising, pain when moving, or trouble bearing weight.

At-home care first: Rest the area, ice it for 15 to 20 minutes every few hours, compress with a wrap (not too tight), and elevate above heart level (RICE method). Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help with inflammation.

When to visit urgent care: If pain is severe, you can’t walk or use the joint, swelling worsens quickly, or there’s numbness/tingling, don’t wait. We offer on site x-rays to check for fractures (often mistaken for sprains) and provide braces, crutches, or referrals if needed.
