Sports Medicine Kits
We know that having a well stocked first aid kit, or a sports medicine kit is important. Equally important is knowledge on the subject. The following is good information to keep on hand especially if you have youngsters who are active in sports or just plain active! Courtesy of D.R. I.C.E...
Immediate first aid for ankle sprain
- D. DIAGNOSIS--Diagnose the injury right away. A possibility of bone fragment being pulled away from the bone would require different treatment.
- R. REST--Rest the injury to reduce pain and swelling will prevent further damage.
- I. ICE--Ice to the injury or applying cold therapy will help ease the pain, reduce swelling, and help encourage blood flow.
- C. COMPRESSION--Compressing the injured area will reduce inner bleeding and also reduce the swelling.
- E. ELEVATION--Elevating the injured area will help the fluids to flow away from the injury and also help reduce bleeding and swelling.
