Ankle Sprain Treatments for Pain Relief - Ask Doctor Jo

Ankle sprains are different grades depending on how severe they are. These ankle sprain treatments are for an early sprain where you want to get some movement, but you don’t want to overdo it. Purchase the ankle support wrap featured in the video here: amzn.to/2E9quct (affiliate link)
To start off with some ankle sprain pain relief, you will stretch your calf muscles. The calves often become tight with a sprain because you are not working the muscles like you normally would. Then you will do ankle circles. Try to just move at the ankle and not your whole leg.
In the early stages, you can also use an ankle support if you have a sprained ankle. The folks at BraceAbility (www.braceability.com) sent me their neoprene ankle wrap. Wraps or sleeves are a great way to get some stability in the ankle, and to help get the swelling and irritation out with some compression.
Then you will do ankle pumps, which is ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. This also works the calve muscles like a pump to help decrease swelling. Next you will do ankle inversion and eversion or windshield wipers.
You can also stretch out the bottom of your foot or the plantar fascia area because it can become inflamed when you don’t have normal movement. Finally you can do some light resistive exercises as long as they don’t increase the pain.

I used to twist my ankle all the time when I was little, it would always be at gym at the time it didn’t really hurt much and I thought it would go away easily and I’m also a pretty shy kid so I didn’t tell my parents but now that I’ve gotten older and I just twisted my ankle yesterday and I just thought the pain gotten wayyyy worse then when I was younger and this is helping a lot so far, thank you❤️
