Ankle injuries |
|
|
The most common ankle injury is a lateral inversion sprain. You should seek advice from an orthopaedic doctor
if your ankle is severely sprained.
If there is no bone injury then physiotherapy treatment is very effective for most sprained ankles.
In the early stages of the ankle injury you should follow the PRICE protocol -
protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation.
For most injuries, an ankle Support can help the treatment and prevention of a sprained ankle injury.
