Solution of Ankel Sprain

Ankle sprains are most common injuries. You sprained your ankle when playing as a child or stepping on an unbalance surface. 25,000 people do this each day.

Sometimes, it is an awkward moment when you lose your balance and weight, but the pain quickly fades away and you walk on your way, but the sprain could be more severe; your ankle will swell and it might hurt too much to stand on it. If it's a severe sprain, you will have felt a "pop" when the injury happened

If a sprain does not treat properly, you could face long-term problems. The ankle is rolled if it is an inward sprain or outward sprain. Inversion sprains caused much pain along the outer side of the ankle is the very common type. Pain along the inner side of the ankle is a more serious injury and should always be evaluated by a doctor.

You like to sprain your ankle when your toes on the ground and heel up (plantar flexion). This position puts your ankle's ligaments under tension. A sudden force like landing on an unbalance surface may turn your ankle inward. When this happens, one to three of your ligaments could be hurt. A sprain can be difficult to know that a bone is fractured or not without X-Ray.

You should consult a doctor and tell your doctor what you did when you sprained your ankle. The Doctor will examine it and may want an x-ray to make sure about bones.

Treating your Sprained Ankle

Treating your sprained ankle properly can prevent you from chronic pain.

For a Grade I sprain, follow the R.I.C.E. guidelines:

• Rest your ankle and no walk. Limited weight bearing. If there is no fracture you can put some weight on the leg.
• Ice keep down the swelling. Don't put it directly (use a thin piece of cloth like pillowcase between the ice bag and the skin) and don't use more than 20 minutes
• Compression can control swelling and support your injury.
• Elevate the foot by reclining it up above the waist or heart.  

REHABILITATING YOUR SPRAINED ANKLE

Every injury needs rehabilitation. Otherwise, your sprained ankle will not heal completely and you could re-injure it. All ankle sprains require three phases of recovery:

  It includes resting, protecting of your injured ankle

  It includes restoring your ankle's flexibility, the range of motion.

 It includes doing maintenance exercises, followed later by more    cutting sports like tennis, basketball and football etc. 

Once you could stand on your ankle again, your doctor will prescribe exercise routines to increase your flexibility, balance, and coordination. Later, you could walk, jog and run with your ankle.

It's important to complete the rehabilitation program because it makes it prevent you from the same injury again. If you don't complete rehabilitation, you could suffer chronic pain. If your ankle still hurts, it could mean that some other injury also happened or not you saved your injury.
