About this episode
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to give some lectures at the Heartland Podiatry Conference in Des Moines, Iowa. The conference organizers asked me to give an entire "Doc On The Run session" during which I presented five lectures back to back...all on how doctors could approach treatment of injured runners differently.
During the attendee question and answer session, a doctor asked:
"Do you use ankle braces for ankle sprains, and under what circumstances would you recommend braces for recovering runners?
This question came out of what's called Conservative Management of Ankle Sprains in Runners Who Want to Run.
Do I recommend ankle braces for runners?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
