Twisted ankle (Inversion)
My ankle got twisted while I was playing a martial art. It's been three weeks now but the pain is still there on and below the lateral malleolus. It was swollen for about two weeks and the swelling has reduced to negligence now but a bit is still there.I iced it for about 3 days and later on continued with ice/hot water therapy. I consultated a homeopath but the results were in vain. Please suggest what should I do..
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.
