Slips on ice are one of the top causes of ankle sprains and fractures during January and February. Even a quick fall can overstretch ligaments or create stress fractures, especially when landing on hard frozen ground.
Common winter injuries we see right now:
• Ankle sprains
• Stress fractures
• Foot/ankle fractures
• Achilles tendon strains
• Worsening plantar fasciitis from cold-stiffened tissue
If you slipped and now have pain, swelling, or trouble walking — don’t ignore it. Early treatment prevents long‑term instability and chronic pain.
