Ankle sprains are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries. A sprain is caused when a ligament, the tough, fibrous tissue that holds the bones of a joint together, is overstretched or torn.

ACUMED patches can be placed directly over the ankle as illustrated on the body maps below. Alternatively, one or more of the patches can be placed on any of the acupressure points outlined here by red dots.
