What Is Ankle Sprain?
Twisting the foot can stretch or tear the ankle ligaments, which is a sprain, one of the most frequent injuries while travelling.
What Can Cause Ankle Sprain
Rolling or twisting the foot on uneven ground, steps, wet floors or sand, or in unsuitable shoes. Sport, hiking, dancing and flip-flops all add to the risk.
Avoiding Ankle Sprain on Holiday
Wear supportive shoes on uneven ground and steps, avoid flip-flops on long walks and take care on wet tiles.
Care and Treatment for Ankle Sprain
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. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest 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
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
