“Ankle braces, particularly stirrup models, are the best treatment in the acute phase
(first 3 weeks) of an ankle sprain. Research has shown that these braces combined
with therapy and weight bearing will result in faster, stronger recovery. After the first 3
weeks it is best to protect the ankle with a sports brace or taping for at least 3
months for athletic participation.”

Remember your ankle will need rehabilitation after an injury to prevent future injuries. Make an appoinment with us for further assistance.
