How long should you wear ankle support after an injury?

Asked 2 years ago

My daughter recently sprained her ankle and has been wearing a brace for a few weeks now. I'm wondering how long she needs to wear it. I don't want her to rely on it for too long. Any advice would be appreciated!

This depends on when:
Your doctor confirms that your sprain is healed; and
You feel no pain; and
You have fully regained your original ankle range of motion.
A mild sprain may require a few weeks to heal, while a grade 3 sprain may require three to four months for a full recovery.
