Why does my ankle keep locking up?

Why do i keep spraining my ankle?

  • I'm an outdoor basketball player and I keep spraining my ankle. I wear regular Nike's. Also I used to never sprain my ankle all of a sudden i have sprained it 5 times this past month. Anybody have an good outdoor basketball shoes that really support the ankle. Like really no bullshit wrap. I bought one for 20$ and it didn't do ****. SO i really need some shoes that really just lock down my ankle.

  • Answer:

    Once you sprain the ankle once, it loosens the ligaments. After that, the ankle has a much easier time spraining. I suggest you get a proper ankle brace, or learn how to tape your ankle properly with athletic tape (there are some guides on Google). You might also want to see a physiotherapist who will prescribe exercises that can help to strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the ankle.

there is no special shoe really, first of high tops obviously and lace the all the way to the top and tie them as tight as possible and if that doesn't work got to cvs and look for McDaivd ankle braces they are really high quality and the work great, i have sprained and broken my ankle with basketball and football and these braces are good for really anything. Hope i could help
