Resting should be done until the ankle feels better. Next comes the ice. Icing should be done in twenty minute intervals; this will reduce the swelling and make the physical pain decrease for a while. Then, the sprained ankle should be compressed. At this stage, the athlete should use an air cast ankle support.
If you are doing exercises as part of your treatment, it can be useful to apply an ice pack before exercise. This is so that after the cold pack is removed the area will still be a little numb. The exercises can also be done with the cold pack in place. This reduces pain and makes movement around the injury more

Ligaments that are injured are the anterior talofibular ligament, which is the most common ligament to be injured, posterior talofibular ligament this ligament is rarely injured and also the calcaneofibular ligament. Most ankle sprains include the anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament. With any ankle sprain if there is any worry about dislocation or fracture the person should be immobilized and needs to be seen.

Medication would be the primary method of pain control, but other methods are often effective. Physiotherapy and biofeedback are commonly used to reduce chronic pain. Thermo-pad heat packs often provide temporary relief for mild pain.

Shirazi (2012) defines allopathic medicine as the “practice of conventional medicine that uses pharmacologically active agents or physical interventions (like surgery) to treat or suppress symptoms or pathophysiologic processes of disease” (Definitions, para. 1). An example of the allopathic approach can be simplified into a patient’s visit to their primary care provider for knee pain. The patient is asked a series of questions regarding their symptoms. The provider will then address that specific knee pain issue and then treat accordingly, whether it is a prescription to alleviate the pain or recommending a series of exercises to mobilize the joint.
PDHPE Study Summary How are sports injuries classified and managed? 1.1.1- Injuries commonly occur in sport, particularly in contact sports such as football. Sports injuries are classified according to their cause (direct, indirect or overuse) or the type of tissue damaged (soft or hard tissue).
