The most common types of sprains are ankle, wrist, knee, elbow, shoulder, hip, and back sprains. Treatment for a sprain typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). In some cases, physical therapy or other specialized treatments may be recommended. Depending on the severity of the sprain, it can take anywhere from one to six weeks for full recovery.
