Suffering From Painful Ankle Sprain? Do You Have Weak Ankles? An ankle sprain is often the result of a fall or injury that "twists" the ankle the wrong way. Thermomedic Therapy Garments are dedicated to advancing the standard of care in podiatry and musco-skeletal health. Weak ankles can frequently result in an ankle sprain, a common injury that may affect the soft tissues, often the ligaments, of the ankle. Did you know ankle sprains are the number one injury concerning the ankle joint? Pain is a common complaint following ankle injury or degenerative joint disease. Thermomedic far infrared therapy socks and compressive ankle braces have been shown to help reduce pain and swelling while improving the cost effectiveness of rehabilitation without compromising quality of care. What Causes Sprained Ankles? A sprained ankle can prevent you from participating in sport and physical activity for between four to eight weeks, depending upon the severity of the injury. This is because an ankle sprain often causes a painful, partial or complete tear of the ankle ligaments on the outside of the foot. What Causes Weak Ankles? Accident or injury may result in a painful ankle sprain caused by the outward twisting of the ankle. In some cases weak ankles are a congenital (at birth) condition. The ankles may be sore, “give way” while standing, walking, or doing other activities. There are a number of conditions which may predispose you to weak ankles. They include:
How Can I Improve Weak or Sprained Ankles? Mild to moderate ankle sprains with no tearing or a partial tear of the ligaments showing swelling, bruising, pain and difficulty walking may find relief and improved ankle stability wearing Thermomedic Therapy compressive ankle supports. The improved healing of a complete tear or rupture of the ligaments associated with swelling, internal bleeding, ankle instability and the inability to walk can be assisted by Thermomedic compressive ankle supports with bio-ceramic thermal technology. Thermomedic Thermal Therapy Ankle braces may also assist to improve chronic lateral ankle instability and reduce healing time. For prevention of repeated ankle sprains physiotherapists recommend the continued application of Thermomedic compressive braces for all athletic activity. Thermomedic Therapy Garments mid-compression ankle support uses the latest developments in new materials technology to apply comfortable compression to soft tissue injuries. The 4-way stretch ensures a soft, comfortable fit, and allows unobstructed movement and can be worn with shoes. They are lightweight, odour resistant and breathable. How Can I Reduce The Risk of Sprained Ankles? Compressive ankle braces and supports have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of sprained ankles in numerous research studies. Compressive, lightweight ankle braces from Thermomedic Therapy Ankle Brace use the latest far infrared technology to provide firm yet comfortable ankle support for the treatment and prevention of ankle sprain injury. While most athletes recover relatively quickly from ankle injuries, full rehabilitation is required to ensure that all physical deficiencies are corrected, especially in athletes with a history of multiple injuries. Wearing a Thermomedic ankle brace reduces the risk of twisting or rolling your ankle. Short-term bracing can also reduce the risk of re-injury, improve strength and enhance range of motion. How Do Thermomedic Ankle Bands Help My Sprained Ankle? Thermomedic Therapy ankle bands work by providing physical restraint and reinforcing the supporting action of the ankle ligaments. Ankle supports and braces also provide sensory feedback to the sensory nerve around the ankle which improves a patient's sense of proprioception. Proprioception is the ability to know where a joint is positioned without looking at it. Compromised proprioception can lead to an ankle sprain so proprioception training forms a large part of sprained ankle rehabilitation during physiotherapy treatment of a sprained ankle. What Are The Best Ankle & Foot Treatments For Me? When you injure your ankle it can take weeks, or even months, to heal and did you know your injured ankle can even remain weaker and less stable than the uninjured one? An ankle injury or broken ankle can seriously limit your mobility. Increasingly, natural non-invasive therapies are used for the treatment of many painful ankle conditions. These problems can include damage to one of the three ligaments of the inferior fibula, degenerative joint disease, chronic pain, grinding/popping, sprain or tenderness or limited range of joint motion. Effective treatment for weak, injured ankles includes wearing Thermomedic compression ankle supports. FIR ankle body bands and far infrared therapy clothes and socks provide naturally soothing support to assist healing and provide effective protection from additional strain or injury. Thermomedic Therapy Garments are suitable for long-term therapeutic care. Far Infrared Therapy Socks For Ankle Sprains, Pain & Injury Remedial treatment with far infrared therapy socks and supports for ankle sprains focuses on reducing pain and swelling, restoring joint range of motion and muscular flexibility as well as increasing muscular strength and endurance.

| Why Does My Ankle Click When I Flex It? It could be posterior impingement. A clicking sensation may be felt when the foot is twisted or rotated. Problems in the ankle joint are usually associated with past ankle sprains. Ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments around the joint. Ligaments are strong, flexible fibers that hold bones together. Thermal therapy socks are an ideal choice to improve ankle joint pain & improve joint mobility. Other symptoms of posterior impingement include swelling & pain behind the heel. There can be tenderness behind the fibula, by the outer ankle bone. Pain is usually worse when the foot is pointed down into plantar flexion. |
