Ankle Sprains & Instability

Ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal injury in the United States, with an estimated 25,000 occurring daily. While most acute sprains heal with rest and rehabilitation, up to 40% of patients develop chronic ankle instability (CAI) — a persistent feeling of “giving way” that increases re-sprain risk and long-term joint damage. Ankle bracing is one of the most evidence-backed interventions for both acute management and chronic instability prevention.
