In early cases with mild symptoms the standard R.I.C.E regime is used. This means:
Rest
Ice
Elevation
Compression
This is recommended as the first line of treatment, and is suggested alongside early involvement by a physiotherapist to rehabilitate the ankle through a supervised exercise regime. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications can help to settle the pain and swelling.Report this post
