A member asked:
Will wearing a foot brace help heal midfoot ligament tear faster or is that more appropriate for a ankle tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest, time, PT, Rx: Midfoot ligament tear will heal with rest and minimal immobilization. Ultrasound therapy is helpful. Injecting platelet rich plasma may help. An NSID is ok if you are able to tolerate the drug. I like the idea of your wearing a brace - it serves as a reminder to rest the foot.
