Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is responsible for short-term disability, increased risk for future acute ankle sprain, and chronic ankle instability. Several studies highlighted that manipulative therapy may reduce pain and increase the range of motion (ROM) of the injured ankle, but not all of them targeted acute injuries. Some studies focused their interest on a specific manipulative technique or utilized either physiotherapy or chiropractic techniques.
