About Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain is a stretch or tear of the ligaments that support the ankle, normally after twisting the foot. It is one of the most frequent holiday injuries.
Common Triggers
Uneven paths, steps, slippery floors, soft sand and poor footwear lead to a rolled ankle, and sport, hikes, dancing and flip-flops increase the chance.
How Ankle Sprain Is Treated
The doctor asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on painkillers and care, and arranges an X-ray or an orthopaedic review when needed. Options may include painkillers, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
