Ankle sprains can be treated right away to speed recovery and lessen symptoms. Here are a few simple steps to follow when caring for a sprained ankle. To better understand how to treat an ankle sprain, let’s first comprehend the following:
The ligaments of the ankle joint, which act as elastic, band-like structures to hold the joint’s bones together and restrain it from excessive turning and twisting, are injured in an ankle sprain. The ligaments may swell during normal movement before contracting to their normal size and shape.
You can reduce pain and swelling and control inflammation by using the R.I.C.E. method:
1. Rest the injured ankle, and use crutches or a walking boot if necessary.
2. A 30-minute break follows each treatment of 10 to 20 minutes of ice.
3. To help the wound heal faster, bandage the ankle.
4. When possible, raise the foot at least 30 degrees above the heart.
The time it takes to recover varies depending on the injury’s severity, but most sprains heal in two to six weeks.
The two most important reasons to see your doctor are to rule out a fracture and reduce your risk of recurring sprains. If the pain from the injury is unusual, you should be evaluated. Persistent pain, pain at night, and the inability to bear weight on your ankle for four steps are all signs of a fracture.
