Understanding Ankle Sprain
Twisting the foot can stretch or tear the ankle ligaments, which is a sprain, one of the most frequent injuries while travelling.
Common Triggers
Rolling or twisting the foot on uneven paths, steps, wet floors, sand or in unsuitable shoes. Sport, hiking, dancing and flip-flops all add to the risk.
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. Options may include pain relief, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day
