Phase One. The goal of phase one is to reduce swelling and pain. This phase can last between one and seven days after your ankle sprain. Rest, applying ice and wearing an elastic bandage during this time is necessary. For grade III ankle sprains, wearing a walking boot or using crutches is also necessary.
For a Grade 1 sprain, use R.I.C.E (rest, ice, compression and elevation): 1  Rest your ankle by not walking on it. 2  Ice should be immediately applied. 3  Compression dressings, bandages or ace-wraps immobilize and support the injured ankle. 4  Elevate your ankle above your heart level for 48 hours.
