Sprain Recovery Time
Sprain recovery time is a big problem confronted by most athletes nowadays, especially those
who play sports that require extension of a certain limb (such as soccer requiring repeated
extension of the knee).
The healing time usually varies from one person to another, which is
why a sprain can be so unsettling.
The Quick Answer
As a general rule, the three grades of sprains can be used as a reference.
A grade one sprain
(the mildest) will typically heal in several days.
A grade two sprain will need several weeks
to recover.
A grade three sprain will take a few months to regain full function.
Many factors
affect these time frames, though, especially the quality of care – both at the time of injury and
during the healing process.
