Ankle supports infused with copper are designed to provide stability and compression to the ankle joint. These supports often incorporate copper-infused materials believed to offer therapeutic benefits. For example, individuals recovering from ankle sprains or experiencing mild ankle pain may use such a support during physical activity.
The purported benefits of these supports include reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced recovery. Historically, copper has been associated with anti-inflammatory properties in folk medicine. The integration of copper into ankle supports aims to leverage these properties, potentially aiding in pain management and supporting the ankle’s natural healing process. This type of support provides external stabilization and may limit excessive movement.
