POST-OP ANKLE PAIN AND SWELLING TREATMENT

Dec 17th 2019

What can I expect after foot or ankle surgery?

As with any type of trauma to the foot or ankle, pain, swelling, and instability can be expected. This is the first step in the body’s natural healing process. Most clinics will suggest the R.I.C.E. rehabilitation plan: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. We also recommend using compression ankle braces like the ones shown below to reduce pain and speed recovery.

How will an ankle brace help speed recovery after surgery?

Controlling the post-surgery swelling will help speed recovery and alleviate pain. BioSkin foot and ankle braces are designed to do just that, using medical-grade compression and unique, supportive straps to reduce edema and provide stability to the joint.

If your foot is experiencing severe swelling, we recommend a wraparound compression ankle brace as this type of brace is easy to adjust as the swelling goes down. A pull-on ankle brace also provides pain relief, control for mild swelling, and ankle support. Both types of braces are extremely comfortable and effective.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
