How long does sprained ankle take to recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the: Severity of the sprain. Rest, ice, compression (with elastic anklet, or ace bandage) are the hallmarks of good treatment. An ankle brace is a good idea, when starting t return to sports to protect the area. Balance training and peroneal muscle strengthening are good for rehab.
