They don't really HEAL the ligament but they will help immobilize the use of the ligament. The wrap can help the person using it to feel better. The wrap however should never be used with creams like Icy Hot, Ben Gay or any other product like that because you can burn the skin. You can use those products on the ligament area by themselves with the skin well aired. They can offer pain relief. The best thing to do to heal the ligament is to rest it a lot and use it little until it heals. Weight bearing on a leg causes the healing to be slow.
