Question
My brother is ten years old.  Can he be getting ultrasound and electrical stimlation for an ankle sprain?  Is there an age limit?

Answer
Hello Angelica,


   No, Ultrasound and EMS are fine to do, just make sure they are doing the ultrasound with his ankle submurged in water.  Ajusting the ankle to make sure the bones are in proper alignment may provide instant relief!  I have played basketball for years with many ankle injuries, adjusting the ankle may provide great relief.  Biking is great exercise to rehab the ankle too.

Have a great day,
