Sprained ankle

Hi, I sprained my ankle 1 month back. I got my x ray done. There is no fracture. But there is still a lot of pain on the ankle area. Is putting warm water on the ankle a good option to soothe the pain . Also is physio therapy a must ?

• Get a custom made insole. • Hams Stretching. • Sports Taping. • Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
