How long does it take torn ligaments in a foot to heal?
Healing times for torn ligaments in the foot can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the specific ligaments involved. In general:
Grade 1 (mild) sprains: These typically take 2-3 weeks to heal.
Grade 2 (moderate) sprains: These can take 4-6 weeks to heal.
Grade 3 (severe) sprains: These may take 8-12 weeks to heal, or even longer in some cases.
It's important to follow the RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) protocol and seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and guidance on the best course of treatment. Physical therapy may also be recommended to aid in the healing process.
