Three Ways To Treat Ankle Sprains - Dr. Horton (VIDEO)

Dr. Horton:
The first thing is to control pain and inflammation by restricting your activities. The second thing is to apply compression, and that can be performed by using a support hose or support wrap. The third thing is to alter your footwear to allow for a more comfortable heel and ankle position to avoid re-exacerbating the problem.
