ELSEWHERE ON THE WEB – by CtCloser
There’s a New Way to Treat Sprains and Strains. Hint: Ice Is Out.
“If you think you need rest, ice and ibuprofen, think again.”
Treatment used to be RICE, but newer research is pointing to a different, more effective and expeditious regimen: PEACE & LOVE. This regimen is not just opinion; research actually bears it out. “Probably the greatest problem with RICE, though, most experts agree, is the R — rest. It’s ‘often misinterpreted as “put your feet up and do nothing,”’ Warden said.”
Here’s the details on the new mnemonic…
- Protect the injured area by restricting movement, somewhat, for the first day or two.
- Elevate the injured limb to reduce swelling. “There’s not much evidence elevation helps healing, but it doesn’t hurt, either. So, why not?”
- Avoid ice and anti-inflammatory painkillers. But remember that Tylenol is okay.
- Compress, with taping or a bandage. “It could make movement easier” and lessen swelling.
- Educate. Consult with a doctor, physical therapist or athletic trainer if you don’t feel comfortable treating an injury yourself.
- Load. “Move and load” the injured area as soon as possible.
- Optimism. “An optimistic mindset” can help with recovery.
- Vascularization. Aerobic exercise maintains healthy blood flow to an injury. If you can’t easily walk, try stationary cycling or swimming.
- Exercise. Once the injury starts to heal, exercises that strengthen the joint or tissue could help you recover fully and avoid reinjury.
