Doctors and physical therapists may recommend wearing a brace or boot to reduce the stress placed on the affected ankle. Often, RICE treatment, which is comprised of rest, ice, compression, and elevation, is recommended. There are ankle braces that are well-suited for both supporting the tendons in the ankle and compressing them.

The reason compression is useful in these situations is it reduces both inflammation and pain. Boots are useful when the goal is to immobilize the ankle as much as possible while still being able to walk. Once the injury is healed, doctors may recommend wearing a brace when running or engaging in sports to prevent a repeat injury.
