The ankle joint is a complex and fairly constrained joint. Therefore, any injury to it that requires support will be extremely painful and swelling is inevitable at this end of the lymphatic system. Pain in the ankle can be a result from inflammation or injury to any of the bony, ligamentous, cartilage structures in the ankle region. Where previously a walking cast may have been required, now optimum therapy is possible with modern Ankle bracesthat allow more natural mobilisation.
The ankle joint guarantees the motion of the foot and can be heavily strained in sports like basketball, volleyball or handball caused by quick changes in direction. Pain in this region can result from injury to any ligament structures of the ankle that normally go along with inflammation and haematoma. In order to assist the healing process, medi offers secure and flexible ankle supports for your activities.
An ankle support with compression can also help to stabilise the ankle for patients with muscle weakness or other instabilities and prevent a serious ankle injury. This allows you to keep going with your regular workouts and strenuous sports with the risk of an ankle injury like a sprain or a ligament injury being significantly reduced.
