When a sprain occurs, the supporting foot is twisted in an un-natural way, partially tearing and injuring the ligaments that are located on the outside of the ankle. And when a strain occurs, either muscles or tendons are either overstretched, or really torn. The usual symptoms of a sprain are swelling, pain, bruising, and the inability to move the sprained joint. Strains involve the symptoms of muscle spasms, weakness in the muscle, localized swelling, cramping, inflammation, and sometimes inability to move the muscle.
Physicians and physical therapists will tell you to reduce the swelling and pain by using ice packs and/or anti-inflammatory medicine. Wraps, splints, and sometimes even hard casts are used to treat sprains and strains by keeping them from further injury. On very rare cases, these conditions require surgeries. If you're an athlete or just enjoy bveing active outdoors, you'll probably want something on hand for the eventuality of an ankle sprain or strain. We carry a wide variety of ankle hot packs and ankle cold packs, ankle splint braces, lace-up ankle braces, ankle pain gels, and other ankle pain products for your sprained or strained ankle.
