<human>: I've heard that if I have a sprained ankle I can just rest it and it will heal. Is this true?
<bot>: No, resting an injured ankle is not the best way to treat a sprained ankle. Resting an injured ankle can lead to further injury or pain as well as delay healing time. The best treatment for a sprained ankle includes icing the joint, physical therapy, and using crutches or a walking boot to support the joint while it heals.
