Ankle Compression Wrap

How to compress a sprained ankle?

When you have a sprained ankle, it's important to apply compression to help reduce swelling and support the injured area. Here's how to do it effectively:

1. Start by elevating the ankle above the level of your heart to reduce swelling.
2. Apply an Ankle Compression Wrap around the injured area. Begin wrapping at the base of your toes and work your way up towards the ankle. Make sure the wrap is snug but not too tight — it should apply firm pressure without cutting off circulation.
3. Ensure even compression to prevent any bulges or gaps. You may need to adjust the wrap for comfort.
4. Wear the wrap during rest periods or while moving around, depending on your activity level. The compression helps reduce swelling and stabilize the ankle as it heals.
Be sure to remove the wrap periodically to allow your skin to breathe and check for signs of poor circulation, such as numbness or excessive tightness. If you're unsure about how much compression to apply or the duration, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional. An Ankle Compression Wrap is an effective and convenient way to manage the symptoms of a sprained ankle while promoting recovery.
