Ankle sprains: causes, symptoms, and treatment
Ankle sprains are one of the most common sports injuries, but it is possible to sprain the ankle during everyday activities too. Often, all it takes is stepping awkwardly or catching your foot on something. This results in injuries to the ligaments that surround the ankle joint. Associated bone injuries are also known to occur occasionally. If the ankle sprain is not treated quickly and appropriately, this can lead to lasting damage and ankle pain - for example instability of the joint, which makes wear of the affected joint (osteoarthritis) more likely in the long term.
Choosing the right brace or support depends on the particular problem While a support is suitable in the case of bruising or sprains, a brace with rigid components is advisable for more severe injuries. Ideally, you should talk to your physician, physical therapist or other healthcare provider, who can advise you on what form of treatment will work best for your situation.

Can I wash it?
Yes. All Bauerfeind supports are made with machine-washable materials. Here’s how to care for your brace: For products with Velcro® straps, pads or inserts, remove them if possible, or fasten them securely at the place provided on the brace. Machine wash your brace in cold water using the gentle or delicate cycle. Wash separately using laundry detergent with no additives (do not use fabric softener or Woolite). Lay your support flat and let it air dry; do not put it in the dryer. Proper washing and drying helps your knit support maintain elasticity and original fit.
What if I’m between sizes? Should I purchase the smaller or larger size?
Choose the larger size for gentler compression or the smaller size for firmer compression. When between sizes, the average person prefers the smaller size for a more secure fit, unless you are sensitive to compression.
