Types of Sports Injuries
Ankle Treatment
No matter what kind of sports injury you get while participating in an activity or exercising, it’s critical to obtain a proper diagnosis before beginning treatment. The appropriate course of treatment will be determined by the severity of the damage. RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate) is a home remedy that can be used in specific situations to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and hasten the healing process.
Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain refers to damage to one or multiple ligaments in the ankle. Ligaments, akin to rubber bands, are bands of tissue that secure joints by connecting one bone to another. Ligaments stabilise the ankle joint by preventing side to side motion. The outside of the ankle is where ankle sprains most frequently happen.
Ankle sprains can vary in severity. The amount of ligaments implicated, as well as whether or not the ligament is totally ripped, determine the severity of an ankle sprain. Ankle sprains differ from strains, as strains affect the muscles rather than the ligaments. Read More About Ankle Sprain
