How Do I Treat My Ankle Injury?
Following an ankle injury that results in a tear to a ligament (or several) of your ankle, you will likely need to follow the steps of RICE treatment to reduce swelling and promote healing. This includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
The rest component might include a period of time on crutches and/or wearing this figure-8 brace to support your weak ankle. This durable support can also apply compression that is helpful for reducing inflammation. Check out our selection of ice and compression therapy products.
The figure-8 wrapping of this support at the ankle also makes it well suited for treating instability. However, wearing a brace is not a long-term solution.
For permanent relief, your best bet will be to engage in physical therapy and strengthen the muscles. This low-profile, breathable brace can help provide support during any such period of rehabilitation. However, in some rare cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the damage done to your ankle. We offer a line of ankle boots to help with the post-surgery recovery.
Does this Figure 8 Support Help With Ankle Arthritis?

Wearing this supportive lace-up ankle brace can help relieve the pain you are experiencing due to arthritis in your ankle. This support works to prevent pain and swelling so that you can get back to your daily activities and leave your ankle pain behind!
