A small well-designed trial from the Durban University of Technology, South Africa, reported that chiropractic manipulation of the talocrural or ankle joint improved both proprioception and range of motion in dorsiflexion, thereby assisting in the prevention of repeat ankle strains. Six treatments over a period of 5 weeks produced superior results to a single treatment.
