🚀 Acupuncture: Your Ticket to Speedy Ankle Sprain Recovery! 🚀
🥤 Recovery Phase 🥤
As the initial swelling reduces after the first week of the ankle sprain, the ankle now enters a recovery phase, where you can feel small lumpy swollen areas at the top of the foot and sides of the ankles which are painful to touch.
🧘♀️ Acupuncture 🧘♀️
The best way to heal lateral ankle sprains is through acupuncture. By applying acupuncture to specific acupoints along the meridians that correspond to the ankle, acupuncture can enhance the body's natural healing response to the damaged ankle ligaments. Acupuncture can also help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with the ankle sprain.
🔍 How Deep the Needle Goes 🔍
The acupuncture needles enter the subcutaneous space under the skin surface, at a slanted angle. They help to relax the superficial fascia and promote circulation; the needles do not touch the ligaments during the treatment.
🕰️ Length of Recovery 🕰️
The length of the recovery phase depends on the severity of the ankle sprain. Grade 1 (mild) sprain can heal in 2-3 weeks, Grade 2 (moderate) sprain can heal in 4-8 weeks, Grade 3 (severe) sprain may take months to heal. All grades of ankle sprain recover better with acupuncture treatment.
