Basketball Ankle Injury Supports
Ankle Supports
Ankle injuries are common in basketball players, and proper medical attention is necessary to get back on the basketball court. The most common ankle injuries that basketball players experience may include ankle sprains, avulsion fracture, Achilles tendonitis, Achilles rupture, and plantar fasciitis. An ankle sprain occurs when an outward force stretches your ankle ligaments out of their normal position. An avulsion fracture may result from a traumatic condition when a bone moves one way and a ligament or tendon is suddenly pulled the opposite way.

Rest, apply ice packs to the affected areas, wear compression bandages, and perform elevating exercises to reduce the symptoms. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs will help reduce the pain and inflammation around your ankles.
The extent of the injury and type of treatment will define the recovery time following an ankle injury. Grade I or II level sprain may heal within three to four weeks; however, severe or grade III level sprain can take up to six months to heal completely. Professionals suggest some preventive strategies to reduce the risk of ankle injuries in basketball. Always wear supportive shoes to support your ankles.
