SPORTS INJURY - ANKLE SPRAIN

Health Note from the Atlanta Select - Ankle Sprain


If you have twisted your ankle, welcome to the club. About 25,000 ankle sprains occur in the U.S. each day. One misstep on an uneven surface or a sudden change in direction could have you nursing a swollen ankle for days. Basketball players know that they are subject to this injury.

What to do: Immediately implement P.R.I.C.E: ( P - protection = bandage, brace or use crutches, R - rest = get off and stay off the injury, I - ice = the sooner the better for 72 hours, 20 minutes at a time, C - compression = wrap the injury but not too tight in an ACE bandage, E - elevate = keep injury above heart level to reduce swelling.

Do not rest a mild ankle sprain for too long. Once swelling and pain decrease, gradually point and flex your foot to loosen up the joint. Then try turning it inward and outward. When you can fully bear weight on your angle, get walking. During one-legged balance exercises will strengthen the joint and protect it from future injuries.

What not to do: Do not try to walk it off; you may increase the damage. You may think a twisted ankle isn't much to worry about, but you are wrong. If you have an injured ankle, its very important to heal it quickly and completely. Incomplete healing means it may plague you for ever.

Atlanta Select want you to be ready to play at all times so take care of yourself. This information is taken from www.lifescript.com.
