Ankle Injury Treatment NYC

Recently updated

12/21/2020

Sports Injury & Pain Management Clinic of New York

An ankle injury can range from being mildly uncomfortable to excruciatingly painful. When it’s minor, your ankle injury treatment often consists of rest, ice, compression, and elevation, as prescribed by your sports pain specialist. Swollen ankle injury treatment may consist of surgery if you have a torn ligament or broken bone. No matter what you need, you’ll get the best treatment for ankle injury advice from your physician at the Sports and Pain Institute of Midtown Manhattan. Come to our sports pain management clinic to get your pain evaluation and treatment. Meet our pain doctor Febin Melepura M.D. to get the pain relief you need in the safe, reassuring hands of the top-rated sports pain specialist.

Your ankle joints are composed of the weight-bearing leg bone (the tibia), the stabilizing leg bone (the fibula), and the ankle bone (the talus). Your ankle forms the intersection of all three bones. Tendons and muscles work together to allow you to move your ankles so you can walk and remain mobile. The ligaments hold the bones together.

Fractures and ankle sprains are the most common sources of ankle pain and injury. And while athletes, especially runners, are more prone to foot pain and ankle injuries, anyone can easily stumble and end up with an ankle injury. And when it happens, your sports medicine doctor is ready to provide you with the best treatment for an ankle injury in NYC.

Reasons to Seek Swollen Ankle Injury Treatment

A sprain occurs when you somehow damage a ligament. Swelling, difficulty walking, pain and tenderness are the most common symptoms of sprains. The second most common cause of ankle sprains and stress fractures is walking on uneven ground, causing you to turn your ankle.

Athletes are at the highest risk of getting ankle sprains and fractures, especially when participating in:

Basketball
Track and field
Football
Gymnastics
Competitive dancing

At-Home Ankle Injury Treatment

When an ankle injury is minor and doesn’t cause much pain or stop you from being able to walk, very often it responds well to basic home first aid. This home care is appropriate only after you’ve seen your doctor and been approved for at-home ankle injury treatment. The most basic home care for swollen ankles consists of:

Remain off your foot until the swelling subsides. And that means refraining from participating in the activity that led to the sprain in the first place.
Cold compresses help reduce inflammation. Apply ice as soon as possible after you hurt your ankle and continue this treatment off and on, for about 20 minutes at a time, for about 48 hours.
A snug elastic bandage also helps reduce swelling and eases discomfort.
Keep the swelling down by elevating the affected foot on a couple of pillows. Ideally, keep your foot higher than your heart for maximum benefit.

If, after the first 48 hours of homecare, you still have swelling — and especially if you begin to see more bruising — go back to your sports medicine doctor for further testing and swollen ankle injury treatment. Your doctor relies on imaging tests like x-rays, ultrasound, and MRI to evaluate the damage and develop the best treatment for an ankle injury to suit your needs.
