Did you Sprain your Ankle?

Most likely, you just made a wrong step and "rolled over" on your ankle. The ligaments just don't stretch that much - actually they are designed not to, so that your ankle bones stay aligned. When the ligaments are stretched beyond their capacity, they tear. That's what hurts!

A mild ankle sprain may need only a day or two of rest, where as a severe sprain (like the one pictured to the right) may need a cast, a brace, and several weeks of using crutches to stay off the foot.

How can Prolotex™ Socks reduce a swollen sprained ankle?

Far Infrared energy is very effective in reducing inflammation. Reducing inflammation is key to improving the circulation and flushing out the stagnant blood and fluid that is pooled in the tissues between the cells. Getting rid of the "dead" or used blood is an important aspect in healing the ligament and tendon fibers.

RELAXED FIT FIR Socks help to promote circulation in your feet and toes. Just by wearing Prolotex™ Bio Ceramic Socks you can help to heal the sprained ligament fibers in your ankle.
