Sprained ankles are one of the leading causes of athletes to miss games during the season. Many times they are taped up & rushed back to the field without proper rehabilitation. More often than not, the ankle gets re-injured or worse, they end up with a knee, hip or low back injury. These injuries can be prevented by providing the proper healing time and rehabilitation. The same premise holds true for non-athletes. Ankle sprains occur in runners mainly because they are chatting away as they are on a long run and are simply not paying attention. How often do you see a runner fall just because they fell of the curb or in a hole while running? Lots...Pay attention to where you are going and you can prevent this type of injury. If you know you are a klutz, run on an even surface, like a track, when you are tired or distracted. You should stay off of your feet as much as possible. Using crutches for any necessary walking will reduce the pressure on the injured ankle. You should ice the ankle immediately and as often as possible. This will help to decrease swelling and minimize the pain. Compression helps push swelling away from the ankle. An elastic support or ankle brace is ideal for this. Elevation Supporting keeping the ankle above the heart will help reduce swelling and lessen the pain of the sprained ankle. The best advice for how to deal with an ankle sprain can be remembered through the acronym price. This is an easy way of remembering the regime 'Protect, Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate'. Ankle supports and ankle braces offer a range of benefits. They can alleviate pain and also help the ligaments to heal as they aid compression and bring welcome rest to the affected ligaments. Ankle supports also help protect your ankle. These days, ankle supports and ankle braces are usually made from elasticated material or neoprene. This aids with the degree of compression and helps support the joint, increasing stability. For the most serious ankle sprains, rigid ankle splints are used. To treat an ankle injury in the most effective way possible, you need a program that addresses pain reduction, heals the ankle efficiently, and - most importantly - strengthens the ankle to reduce the risk of recurring neuromuscular damage to the ankle and to other parts of the body as well. That's brings us to the new H.E.M. system and why it is so revolutionary. Instead of months, you can expect to be walking again in just days. Not only that, the healing results will be significantly better than on R.I.C.E. You can expect your ankle to be more flexible, stronger, and at much lower risk for future injury. We have come to accept that it should take months to heal a sprained ankle, but the reality is you can heal your ankle much more fully in a much shorter period of time. The vast majority of ankle sprains can be treated by taping the ankle or using an ankle brace and ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory medication followed by a comprehensive sprained ankle rehabilitation program. An ankle sprain injury may take a few weeks to many months to fully heal but with an advanced aggressive rehab protocol, 85% rehab is possible in as little as 7-10 days.
