What Is an Ankle Sprain?
An ankle sprain happens when the ligaments that support your ankle get stretched or torn. This usually occurs when your foot rolls or twists the wrong way during walking, running, or jumping. It often causes pain, swelling, and trouble putting weight on the foot.
What Causes an Ankle Sprain?
Most ankle sprains happen during sports, on uneven ground, or from simply stepping wrong. When the foot turns suddenly, it puts too much force on the ligaments, especially on the outside of the ankle. This leads to tiny tears, inflammation, and sometimes bruising.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to stimulate blood flow, break up scar tissue, and accelerate healing in injured ligaments and surrounding tissues. It’s especially helpful for chronic ankle sprains or swelling that won’t go away with rest alone. Most patients notice faster recovery and improved mobility with this advanced treatment.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments to the ankle, foot, and sometimes the knee or hip help restore proper joint motion and reduce stiffness. This allows the ankle to heal in better alignment and helps prevent future sprains or instability.
Soft Tissue Therapy (ART, Scraping, Cupping)
Soft Tissue Therapy (ART, Scraping, Cupping)
Targeted soft tissue work relieves tightness, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation around the injured area. These techniques support faster healing and reduce the lingering soreness or stiffness that often follows an ankle sprain.

Real experiences from those we’ve helped!
Dr. Kakishita provides exceptional care with remarkable attention to detail. I initially became his patient at his previous practice, and when I learned he had opened his own clinic, I immediately looked for him. His outstanding treatment has significantly improved my mobility and reduced my pain. His unique approach and genuine concern for patient wellness make him stand out in his field. I've experienced consistent progress under his care and wouldn't trust my spinal health to anyone else. He is highly recommended for anyone seeking quality chiropractic treatment.
Dr. K is an amazing chiropractor!! I was dealing with a lot of lower back and hip pain and he worked with me for months and gave me exercises and stretches I could do at home in addition to what he could do in office. He made me feel important like I was the only patient he was working with and was truly concerned with my well being and in helping me get back to running and moving like I had in the past. Definitely recommend him and the treatment he does!!
I can’t recommend Dr. Andrew at Kinetic Chiropractic enough! Unlike other chiropractors who rush you in and out with a quick two-minute adjustment, Andrew truly takes the time to understand your pain and address the root cause of the issue. From the very first visit, he was incredibly thorough—asking the right questions, assessing my mobility, and developing a plan tailored to my needs. He doesn’t just do a basic adjustment and send you on your way; he goes the extra mile by incorporating muscle work, mobility exercises, and practical advice to help you heal and prevent future issues. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and wants to see long-term improvements, not just temporary relief. If you’re looking for a...
My husband was struggling with neck pain, and Dr. Kakishita provided exceptional care that made a real difference. From the very first visit, they took the time to listen, assess the issue thoroughly, and provide a treatment plan that brought him noticeable relief. The level of expertise is truly impressive. We’re so grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and caring chiropractor!
Dr. Kakishita has been great! I appreciate that he really listens and tries to get to the root of the problem rather than just giving me a generic adjustment. I also really appreciate the exercises he gives me to help me strengthen whatever areas are giving me issues. He’s personable and genuinely interested in each patient. I would definitely recommend him!
Dr. Kakishita is hands down the best chiropractor I’ve been to. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and explained everything in a way that made sense. I never felt rushed—he was thoughtful, thorough, and you can tell he truly knows what he’s doing. During my visit, he didn’t just do a quick adjustment and send me on my way. He adjusted me, did scraping on my back, used shockwave therapy on my arm, and put on tape to help with recovery. He also offers ice packs though I didn’t take one for my visit. He came up with a personalized treatment plan and shared it with me so I knew exactly what to expect moving forward. A lot of chiropractors feel like they’re just trying to get you in and out—but Dr. Kakishita is different. He...
Dr. Kakishita is great! He is super informative and really helped with my neck pain and headaches.
This was my first time going to a chiropractor. Dr. K was great, talking me through the various procedures. It feels like he actually cares about my injury and ensuring the procedures are actually helping me improve.
If you’re looking for a chiropractor that really cares about you and takes pride in their work, go see Dr. Kakishita at Kinetic Chiropractic! I walked into his office with a very limiting back injury after several days of not being able to perform typical daily activities. Nothing can explain my quick turn around other than Dr Kakishita’s willingness to really hear my issue and treat me according to my needs. I felt the exam was very personalized and thorough, and he asked clarifying questions about my injury along the way. 10/10 would recommend for any chiropractic needs, big or small!
As a Doctor of chiropractic myself, Doctor Kakishita is one that I trust to get me feeling better!
