It’s important that if you’re dealing with an ankle injury, you understand your treatment plan so that you can be on your way to recovery in no time.

Treating Your Ankle Injury

When you’re dealing with ankle injuries, your podiatrists in Boise, Nampa/Caldwell, and Meridian, ID, will come up with treatment options that will best suit your needs and get you recovered in no time. An ankle injury can make it difficult to put any weight on the ankle and it’s important that a big part of your recovery is resting.

When treating an ankle injury, you may need to apply compressive bandages to immobilize the injury and provide extra support while your ankle heals. It’s also important that you’re elevating the ankle and applying ice as needed to help reduce any swelling that you may be experiencing. Your podiatrist may also recommend some stretching exercises to help strengthen the muscles.

If you’re dealing with a severe injury, you may need surgery to repair the damaged ligaments and stop the constant pain from occurring. If you’ve dealt with an injury, it’s important to take the proper precautions to try and ensure that another injury doesn’t occur in the future.
