Tekirova: Local Notes for Ankle Sprain

Why Ankle Sprain Happens
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.
Ankle Sprain Explained
Twisting the foot can stretch or tear the ankle ligaments, which is a sprain, one of the most frequent injuries while travelling.
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.
How Ankle Sprain Is Treated
The physician asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on pain relief and care, and arranges an X-ray or an orthopaedic review when needed. Treatment can involve pain relief, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
