Ankle sprain What treatments work?

The Ancle is the most important segment of our body.
Why? Because it support the rest of your whole body, so it is so important that you can repare it, as soon as possible you can.
Here are some really effective treatments and some wish you will lose your time.
The first, always are the RICE (don't forget this acronyn). This is Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
Rest of course, because when you just get the injury, it is not good give it more tenssion.
You shouldn't move it a lot if hurts to much, but just when the pain has decrease, it is better you move a little bit more each day.
The ice will help to get down the swelling, but not to cure the real problem.
If the ligaments ankle are torn, you have to support it and this is better with a elastic bandage that with a plaster or a tape, the plaster can cause you trombosis and the tape an allergic reaction.
Surgery: Do it just in case the pain and the activity of your ankle is really bad later of a months.
Physiotherapy: This includes heat, ultrasound and axercises. We are agree that exercises are best part. This helps to make stronger your muscles and increase your flexiblity to prevent futures lessons and also if these are balance exercise how to standing in one leg, the recovery will be much better. Ask to your phisycal therepist when you can start to do it.
