How long can you wear an ankle support?

I am a 39 year old female. I want to know how long can you wear an ankle support? I had an injury at work 6 months ago.

If you had an ankle injury 6 months ago and are still experiencing discomfort, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. The duration for wearing an ankle support can vary depending on the specific injury, its severity, and individual healing progress.

As long as needed, but you should be doing rehab and after 6 months if the ankle still is problematic it should be evaluated by a foot and ankle specialist.
Morning,


It really depends what type of ankle injury you sustained. An ankle brace assuming we are talking about an aircast type of brace is not a long term solution. If you are still having symptoms then you may need to see you treating physician for further treatment.


Good Luck
