ER osteopathy eases ankle sprains: study tests One-Time fix

This study tested whether a single osteopathic session in the emergency department can improve recovery from a mild to moderate ankle sprain. Fifty adults with recent sprains were split into two groups: one got standard medical care, the other got osteopathic treatment. Researchers measured pain, swelling, and ankle mobility right away, after one week, and after three weeks. The goal was to see if osteopathy could reduce pain faster and help the ankle return to normal sooner.
