An ankle sprain is a soft tissue injury that most frequently happens when the ligaments on the outside of the ankle are stretched or torn. The severity of the sprain can impact the degree of damage as well as the type and duration of treatment. If not properly treated, ankle sprains may develop into long-term problems.
RICE is an acronym that can help you remember the home remedies you can use to treat your ankle sprain: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
