Dealing with a sprain injury can be really painful and inconvenient. A sprain is an injury where your ligaments are stretched beyond their normal range, sometimes even causing a tear in the ligament itself. The result can be intense and sharp pains in the affected area. Many times this can include swelling and bruising of the area as well.

There are a number of different ways that our team can help you heal from your sprain or strain injury. We will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the severity and location of your injury as well as your unique needs and preferences.
One of the most common ways we treat sprains and strains is with chiropractic adjustments. These gentle yet effective adjustments can help to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness while also promoting healing. On top of that, depending on your injury, we may help with certain stretching exercises to help with your healing process as well as strengthen the injured ligaments and surrounding tissue.
Sprained Ankle Treatment in Wilmington
The most common type of sprain is with your ankle. This is because the ankle is constantly in motion and supports a lot of weight, making it more susceptible to injury. As you walk, run, exercise, or play sports, there is the risk of your ankle bending incorrectly causing the ligaments to stretch too far or even tear.
If you sustain a sprained ankle, our team can help. We will start by doing a thorough evaluation to determine the severity of your ankle injury and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you. This may include chiropractic adjustments, stretches, and exercises. We will also provide guidance on how to best care for your sprained ankle at home between visits. This commonly includes a combination of ice/heat applications as well as elevation to help reduce swelling.
If you have sustained a sprain or strain injury, don’t wait to seek treatment. The sooner you can start your treatments and care for your ankle, the faster and easier recovery can be.

First visit today. Very friendly staff. Comfortable setting, and knowledgeable Doctor. I didn't feel rushed through and everything discussed and done was explained thoroughly as we went through the process. It feels good to identify the issue and begin to work on healing. I love the demeanor of the staff most.
Dr. Ledford is very thorough and very patient and explains in detail what is going on. The staff is always nice and welcoming. I also like the fact that they have walk-ins, as well as flexible scheduling.The office is very well taken care of. Top notch in my book
The front staff & doctors are all amazing! It’s not often you walk into a medical office & feel welcomed by ALL the staff. Thank you for putting your patients first!
Dr. Ledford delivers thoughtful, precise care that actually resolves the issue—not just the symptoms—and I walk out feeling noticeably better every time. Thank you!
Dr. Ledford is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I came in with a sports injury and quickly got relief as well as preventative care for other potential alignment issues he found. 10/10 recommend!
Dr Ledford has been great to work with, as well as the staff. I never feel pressured into anything, and they seem to genuinely care about helping you feel like your best self. Highly recommend this practice to my fam and friends. :)
Great chiropractic care. Feeling 110% better with only a few targeted treatments. After marathon training, will resume with preventative maintenance treatments.
Dr Tyler is very knowledgeable, personable, and compassionate with his chiropractic work! His front desk staff are friendly as well! Highly, highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Cape Fear Chiropractic and Dr.Ledford for the family friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, and professional services! Dr.Ledford ensures all of your needs and concerns are addressed each visit and I never feel rushed or dismissed. Trinity is also very patient and professional every visit and is a joy to speak with!
Dr Ledford is passionate about his practice. His explanations are educational and easy to understand.<br>I'll continue to visit him as long as I'm walking.
Dr. Ledford is truly a phenomenal chiropractor and the office staff is warm and welcoming. I followed Dr. Ledford from The Joint where I was a member for many years and I appreciate the convenience of The Joint and its program but my back and neck really require the consistency of a really good chiropractor and after Dr Ledford moved on to a private practice, it was time for me to do the same! I couldn't be happier! Well maybe if there was a 24 hour chiropeactor option available lol
Tyler is an amazing chiropractor! Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and makes it a point to really get to know his patients! Highly recommend Cape Fear Chiropractic
Dr Ledford is amazing!! He nails it every single time. He seems to be intuitive about just how firm he needs to be to get my body to cooperate, even when no one else can, and I appreciate that.
Dr.ledford is the best chiropractor I have ever seen. I have tried so many different chiropractors over the years and he is the only one that has been able to keep me from being in pain all the time. I truly tust him as a chiropractor and know he will do what is best for me. He is also a very kind and caring person.
Earlier this summer I was in debilitating pain and could barely get out of bed or turn my neck. I got seen that morning. I left feeling so much better and gained full mobility in my neck and back in a day or two. After going consistently every week for the last 8 to 10 weeks, all of my issues are going away. My posture is better, my spine is more in alignment, and it truly saved me. I am so grateful and continue to get great treatment here. Highly recommended for anyone who has issues and wants them permanently fixed!
Dr. Ledford is wonderful. He was able to treat me on super short notice and was very thorough with his exam. He really cares about his patients and takes his time explaining what he plans to do to help you. Thank you so much Dr. Ledford
I have always been skeptical of chiropractic care but came in with severe back pain and was unable to work or move without pain. My first visit helped take the edge off of the pain so that I could function for every day life tasks. After several visits, I was back at about 80%. Now, writing this, I’m almost at 100% and my overall aches and pains have decreased a lot too. There are two chiropractors here, and I saw Dr. Ledford - he is a great communicator and actually listens to you, has a great bedside manner, and tells you everything to expect before adjusting you. I would highly recommend coming here to anyone skeptical of chiropractors or with acute or chronic pain. The admin / receptionist is great too.
I love the fact that he prayed both mu husband and I. AS the weeks go by he always pulled up my xray to be absolutely sure when he does our adjustments. I am fused from c3 thru c7 and have arthritis in thatarea and in my thoracic spine. He's also started dry needling on my neck.<br>I haven't felt safe going to a chiropractic for several yrs. Because he injured me. Dr Ledford has been very careful and built my body up for future visits. I highly recommended him especially for those of us with OA.
Very professional group of people. Starting with the front desk employee,Trinity,She greets & treats you as a valuable client/customer. Dr. T Leyward is an excellent Chiropractor who explains in detail what is causing your pain and what he will do in solving your discomfort. I am new in this state/area and the best choice I have made in finding new medical doctors.
Dr. Tyler Ledfird was very informative and kind. I could barely walk when I came in. Was able to walk out and noticed much improvement from the first visit. Look forward to continuing my treatment.
Very nice atmosphere .great customer service. You always feel welcome. I would definitely recommend anyone in need of a chiropractor to consider cape fear. From day one untill now the process and progress has shown me that I chose the right chiropractor
Both Dr. Ledford and Dr. Chauvin are so amazing! They legitimately care about their patients and always have our best interest in mind. Dr. Ledford has helped me tremendously during my time here and I can't recommend this place more!! 10/10 in my book!
Dr. Tyler Ledford is a pro all around. Completely professional and he cares. He’s helped me from barely able to function to skateboarding and training to tackle 300 miles in May on my Bicycle. I can’t give him enough credit.. this is me trying. Come see him and get you back to moving!
Love this practice! Started seeing Dr. Tyler almost a year ago and my back/neck has never felt better. Dr. Tyler is fun and professional, and I highly recommend both him and Cape Fear Chiropractic!
Love the atmosphere. Very friendly. I love the way Dr. Tyler explains everything. And I can truly sense his willingness to help me recover & be at my best.
