Twisting the foot can stretch or tear the ankle ligaments, which is a sprain, one of the most frequent injuries while travelling.
Care and treatment for ankle sprain
The physician asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on pain relief and care, and arranges an X-ray or an orthopaedic review when needed. Typical choices are painkillers, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
