A sprained ankle can occur when your foot turns inward, placing extreme tension on the ligaments of your outer ankle.
A sprained knee can result from a sudden twist, and a wrist sprain can occur if you fall onto an outstretched hand.
You should seek medical help if your injury is severe or you could benefit from laser therapy.

Can Urgent Care treat sprains?
Yes, an urgent care facility will utilize x-ray and diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose sprains and strains. The problem can then be appropriately treated.

Yes, if indicated. Sometimes a splint is used in place of or in addition to crutches.
