Football Calf Injury Support Sleeves
Calf Supports
In games such as football, calf injuries can occur when a player tries to stretch their leg too far. The common injuries that result from football include pulled calf muscles, calf muscle strain, shin splint, and metatarsal stress fracture. Common symptoms include difficulty standing on toes, snapping or popping sensation in the calves, swelling and bruising in the calf muscles. A football player continuously performs repetitive movements, extending the legs, quick jumping, and abrupt stops, all of which can cause calf injuries.

Your GP may perform physical tests to diagnose the condition. Some imaging tests such as ultrasound, X-rays, and MRI will help determine the extent of the injury. Effective home remedies for calf injuries include rest, applying ice, compression bandages, and elevating exercises. Taking pain relievers are considered additional treatment. However, avoiding alcohol consumption and heating the injured areas will help prevent further problems.
It is difficult to predict how long it takes for pulled or strained calf muscles to heal completely. However, studies have shown that a professional footballer can resume the activities within 13 days. In about 90% of cases, athletes can continue full training within 28 days.
Experts suggest some effective preventive measures to avoid calf injuries while playing football. Always keep your calf muscles exercised and strong to bear overuse. Using proper techniques while hitting the football help prevent calf injuries. Wearing supportive footwear plays a pivotal role to perform safely. Never forget to warm up and stretch calf muscles before and after playing football.
Wearing calf braces help athletes increase blood circulation and reduce the amount of muscular vibration. They also help reduce muscle fatigue, which results in approved athletic endurance. At 360 relief, you can find the best calf support products that may offer you an injury-free game experience.
The calf muscles are commonly overstretched during exercise, resulting in calf muscle strain. When you do heavy exercise or play sports, the muscle fibres get torn to some extent, resulting in muscle pain and soreness.

Heat treatment is generally used to treat strains and sprains because it relaxes stiff muscles. It also helps to increase blood flow to the injured muscles. This therapy aids in the healing of damaged tissue and speeds up the healing process.
- Rest your legs
- Apply cold packs
- Do mild stretching
- Massage your legs gently
- Take a hot bath.
If you have a mild calf injury, it will take 2 to 3 weeks to heal with rest and proper care. On the other hand, if the injury is severe, it will take up to 6 weeks or even more than six weeks to heal. If the injury needs surgery, the healing period could be as long as six months to a year.
