Your ankles are one of your body’s key
weight-bearing joints, responsible for providing stability and movement while
standing or walking.
As a hinged joint, your ankle is susceptible to
injury during virtually any type of activity, including sports and exercise and
even while simply walking or climbing stairs.
An ankle sprain, which occurs when your ankle is
forcefully twisted or bent, can cause your ligaments to painfully stretch or
tear, and this is a leading cause of ankle pain in the United States.
Ankle sprains, however, are not the
only reason why your ankle may be hurting. Other potential causes of ankle pain
include:
·
Damage to your tendons or cartilage
·
Infection in your ankle joint
·
Osteoarthritis, gout or rheumatoid
·
Blockage to blood vessels in your leg
·
Heel pain or injuries
·
Nerve injuries, including sciatica
·
Bone spurs
·
Fracture or stress fractures

Packing
Trying to heal painful ankles that occur from a
sprain is different from the pain from arthritis or cartilage damage.
Assuming you have a sprain, you’ll typically want
to use the RICE approach, as follows (if you have a severe sprain, you should
seek medical attention):
·
Rest: Keep your weight off of your ankle until it no longer hurts to
stand on your foot (use crutches if necessary to get around).
·
Ice: Apply ice packs for about three days following injury to help
bring down swelling and reduce bruising and pain.
·
Compression: Try wrapping your ankle in a compression bandage for one or two
days up to a week to avoid swelling and bruising.
·
Elevation: Raise your ankle above the level of your heart for two to three
hours a day. This will also help with swelling and bruising.
To heal painful ankles due to wear-and-tear to your
joint and cartilage, will require using the following strategies:
7. Exercise
Exercise, even at high intensity, has been found to improve function among
people with rheumatoid arthritis (a common cause of joint and ankle
pain).
It also helped to restore lean body mass, and this
weight loss will also help take pressure off of your joints, potentially
leading to even greater improvements in your ankle pain.
6. Ankle Exercises
In addition to full-body exercise, simple ankle
exercises can help you to strengthen your muscles, protect your ligaments and
avoid injury. Try ankle circles, heel and toe raises or even writing the
alphabet in the air using your foot.
5. DL-Phenylalanine
Phenylalaine is an essential amino acid that acts
as a precursor to tyrosine and neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine
and epinephrine.
Phenylalanine may help to increase endorphins and
opioid compounds in your central nervous system for enhanced mood and chronic
pain relief.
DL-phenylalanine works in part by blocking the
enzymes that break down your body’s natural pain-killing chemicals.
4. Heat from Far-Infrared Rays (FIR)
An FIR heatingpad can help your joints and muscles to relax,
thereby relieving pain. The thermal effect of deep FIR heat on your tissues
causes blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, which improves blood circulation
and promotes pain-relief healing.
3. Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium
Glucosamine is found naturally throughout your
body, but especially in your cartilage. In your joints, it acts as a building
block and helps provide structure to your cartilage while maintaining healthy
joint function and mobility.
Research shows glucosamine sulfate is a safe and
effective treatment for joint pain due to osteoarthritis.
2. Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II
By strengthening cartilage and replenishing the
synovial fluid that helps lubricate your joints, hydrolyzed collagen improves
joint comfort and mobility.
Hydrolyzed collagen is important, in particular,
because it contains glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as hyaluronic acid (HA) and
chondroitin sulfate, which help promote joint cushioning and lubrication.
Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II may even help to
rebuild cartilage.
Super Joint Support is a blend of all-natural
ingredients designed to nourish, support and possibly even regenerate your
joints, thanks to the hydrolyzed collagen type II and other joint
supernutrients that it contains.
With chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid,
glucosamine sulfate potassium, DL-phenylalanine and more, packaged in a formula
that contains 72 ionic trace minerals to ensure rapid absorption and
assimilation into your body, this is a ground-breaking natural way
to reduce and even eliminate joint pain while rebuilding and regenerating your
cartilage.
