Chronic Ankle Instability

General information

When it comes to chronic instability, you're suffering from pain, swelling and stiffness regularly. 20 to 40% of all the people who have torn their ankle ligaments in the past, will have an unstable ankle for the rest of their life.

Symptoms

• Pain
• Swelling
• Stiffness
• Spraining your ankle regularly
• Instability

Causes

Constantly spraining your ankle can mean that you're suffering from chronic ankle instability. But torn ankle ligaments, that didn't heal correctly, are also a common cause.

Treatment

Wearing a brace or taping the ankle down can support it. This will cause the continuous spraining to reduce. Mobility is restricted, and the muscles are directed more efficiently by wearing a brace. At Podobrace, you can choose from a wide assortment of braces based on your wishes and condition. Such as the Active Ankle T2 Sports Ankle Support and the Gladiator Lightweight Ankle Support Max.
