To have an information about sprain we should know that what are ligaments. If we have a deep look at anatomy of human body then ligament is a deep structure present in body and ligament is basically apart of body which connects bone to bone.

When a tear or rupture occurs in ligament then we called it that sprain occurs and we all know that ankle is apart of foot which is present nearest to calcaneus bone of foot so if tear occurs at ligament around ankle then we called this sprain is ankle sprain.

For ankle sprain we can give rice protocol as a treatment.

R = Rest
I = Icing
C = Compression
E = Elevation

This treatment is very easy to understand and you can see that first approach is of rest that we have to rest our ankle by applying any splint to fix that area for a specific period of time depending upon this variety of sprain.

Second approach after rest that we can give to patient having ankle sprain is icing by wrapping ice in a towel or we can also directly apply a cold pack that we use in clinics also.

Compression bandage of or compression stocking can also be used as third approach of treatment for ankle sprain because compression bandage will not let foot to move further.

Elevation of foot up to the level of heart is important so that circulation maybater and healing process moves on fastly.

Medications that we can give for ankle sprain are anti inflammatory drugs as well as we can also give painkillers for relief of pain. Medication can also be applied with rice protocol otherwise there would be no permanent relief day by day for patient.

That was all about information regarding this topic.
