| Ankle Wraps Stabilize Ankles, Helping You Avoid Ankle Pain |
| |
An ankle sprain, usually the result of a fall or injury that “twists” the ankle the wrong way, is a common injury that can affect the soft tissues, typically the ligaments, of the ankle. Ankle sprains are the number one injury concerning the ankle joint.
Acute trauma, injury and other factors and conditions can lead to ankle pain and ankle injuries. But you can relieve and prevent ankle pain/injury by wearing an ankle wrap.

| When Should You Wear an Ankle Wrap? |
| |
An elastic sleeve, contoured ankle support or ankle wrap provides compression – but not stability. If you have ankle pain and swelling, wear an ankle wrap – but wear a product like an ankle brace if you want to truly help stabilize weak ankles.
Follow these guidelines when wearing an ankle wrap:
- Make sure the ankle wrap is snug, but not tight enough to cut off circulation.
- Wear your ankle wrap under or over socks or pantyshoe for as short as a couple of weeks, or as long as you need it.
- Continue wearing an ankle wrap as long as there is swelling, any instability of the ankle or pain.
- Make sure the ankle wrap conforms well, and is wrinkle-free.
