Early “rice therapy” and “price therapy” for ankle sprains

  Ankle sprains are common traumatic injuries and early and proper treatment is very important. After an ankle sprain occurs, you should visit a hospital to have the extent of the injury determined by a specialist and to rule out any combined fractures. However, early home treatment is very important, and early on, you should not apply heat, massage or plasters. The correct treatment includes the following methods: 1.RICE rice therapy rest rest ice ice compression compression elevation elevation, that is, the early stage of ankle sprain should rest, use cold compresses, local elastic compression and elevation of the affected limb.  2, PIRICE price therapy protection protection rest rest ice ice compression compression compression elevation elevation, in the above points on the basis of the added one: to protect the affected limb.  3, now the new view is MICE mouse therapy Movementmovement: early painless movement, because rest braking will lead to adhesions, connective tissue weakness, osteoporosis, malnutrition of the affected area and lymphatic circulation blockage. Painless movement at the injury site promotes cellular healing. Even micro-movements (a few millimeters of activity) can promote nutrient exchange and cellular regeneration.  Ice: apply cold for 15 minutes and rest for 20 minutes until the affected area is warm and the swelling is reduced. How to determine whether to use cold or hot packs? Cold packs are used when resting and still painful, while hot packs are used when resting and not painful to promote blood circulation.  Compression: elastic bandage and inflatable tube type Elevation: elevate the affected area to increase the venous return.  And pay attention to early rehabilitation exercise: ankle exercise – draw abc, tensioner support exercise.
