Ankle braces and ankle supports

The ankle joint is a complex and fairly constrained joint. Therefore, any injury to it that requires support will be extremely painful and swelling is inevitable at this end of the lymphatic system. Pain in the ankle can be a result from inflammation or injury to any of the bony, ligamentous, cartilage structures in the ankle region. Where previously a walking cast may have been required, now optimum therapy is possible with modern Ankle braces  that allow more natural mobilisation.

The ankle joint guarantees the motion of the foot and can be heavily strained in sports like basketball, volleyball or handball caused by quick changes in direction. Pain in this region can result from injury to any ligament structures of the ankle that normally go along with inflammation and haematoma. In order to assist the healing process, medi offers secure and flexible ankle supports for your activities.

An ankle support with compression can also help to stabilise the ankle for patients with muscle weakness or other instabilities and prevent a serious ankle injury. This allows you to keep going with your regular workouts and strenuous sports with the risk of an ankle injury like a sprain or a ligament injury being significantly reduced.

Compression for foot and ankle

Compression therapy is used as the treatment for various conditions. Compression sleeves for feet and ankles work by applying constant gentle pressure, which stimulates blood flow. The improved circulation means that the area gets a better supply of oxygen and transports blood back to the heart faster than without compression. The tight-fitting supports also help to stabilise the ankle joint as well as the surrounding muscles, giving you a better sense of movement.

Especially patients with lymphoedema or lipoedema benefit from compression at the ankles, since it reduces and prevents swelling. This relieves pain and discomfort and allows patients to go about their day with as little distress as possible. Patients with inflammation can also improve their mobility and reduce stiffness and pain with compressive ankle supports. Athletes wear them to prevent injuries in the first place.

Maintaining healthy ankles

There are plenty of ankle strengthening exercises you can practise to prevent ankle injuries and subsequent foot pain. This improves stability and helps you maintain balance for the whole body. Compression ankle sleeves can be very helpful not just in stabilising your ankle joints, but also by improving your proprioception. This gives you a better feeling of where you're stepping and how you're placing your feet, thus preventing ankle injuries.

If you suffer from a medical condition that causes you ankle pain, please consult a healthcare professional about the best treatments to reduce your symptoms and ensure that you can carry out everyday tasks as comfortably as possible.
