My doctor told me you should always wrap from low to high (starting nearer to toes and working up toward the calf). The Figure 8 technique should also be used. Start on the top of the foot. Wrap around the sole and back to the top 2 times. Thenwhen at the top again, wrap around the back of the foot, the Achiles tendon going left to right. Then up over the top of the ankleand back down under the sole. Then up to the left side of the ankle and around the tendon again, arounf the top of the ankle again, under the sole, to the back and so on. till you are near the end of the bandage. Take it around the ankle one more time but this time wrap it around the lower shinbone two times. When overlapping the bandage do not overlap exactly over each layer. Overlap by about half the width.
To wrap a sprained paw, you just need to wrap it tight. You can wrap it with cloth or wrap it in medical tape.
No, it can be sprained without being swollen.
If you have a sprained foot, it's important to first assess the severity of the injury. For mild sprains, you can try walking with a supportive brace or wrap and use crutches to reduce weight on the injured foot. Always listen to your body; if you experience significant pain, it's best to rest and consult a healthcare professional. Additionally, applying ice and elevating the foot can help reduce swelling while you recover.

Tell your coach wrap it around with some type of good padding

bad sprained ankle.
Usually, you can walk on a sprained ankle, but it is EXTREMELY painful. This is NOT advised. The best way to take care of a sprained ankle is to ice twice a day, 20 minutes each time, wrap it in an ace bandage or a firm, cast, and avoid moving it or walking. It is good to stretch a bit by gently moving your foot back and forth if you are able. Slow biking on a stationary bike is good conditioning, but do not run or walk too much.
Wrap them in an ACE Bandage and ice and take pain meds like Ibuprofen
You should keep your sprained foot in the ice bucket for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time. It's important to allow for breaks in between ice sessions, typically about an hour, to prevent frostbite. Repeat this process several times a day during the first 48 hours after the injury for optimal swelling reduction. Always make sure to wrap ice or ice packs in a cloth to protect your skin.
Cotton wrapping, just like we wrap a sprained arm today, but doing the full body.
You wrap it before you put on socks.
