What is the Emergency Treatment For An Ankle Sprain?

The emergency treatment for an ankle sprain can be remembered with the R.I.C.E. method:

★ Rest – Avoid putting weight on the injured ankle and try to keep it elevated.

★ Ice – Apply an ice pack to the injured area for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours to reduce swelling. ★ Compression – Wrap the ankle with an elastic bandage to help minimize swelling, but not too tight. ★ Elevation – Raise the ankle above the level of your heart to reduce swelling.
