What are the Treatment Options for Ankle Injuries?
Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of the injury:
Rest: Limiting movement and weight-bearing activities can help in the initial stages. Ice: Applying ice packs can reduce swelling and pain. Compression: Using an elastic bandage can provide support and decrease swelling. Elevation: Keeping the ankle elevated can help control swelling. Medication: Pain relievers like ibuprofen can be used to manage pain and inflammation. Physical Therapy: Rehabilitation exercises can help restore function and strength. Surgery: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required to repair ligaments or bones.
