Many others perform what they think is first aid but, in reality, their actions may cause damage or hinder the healing processes of the body. Understanding, not only what to do after an injury, but what is actually happening during treatments can be helpful later when you are trying to decide whether to use ice or heat on an injury. The first thing we are going to cover is what to do following a stress type injury. These can include sprains or strains (pulled muscles). An acronym to remember following an injury like this is RICE. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. The area of injury should be rested so more damage is not created following the injury. Ice is used to slow down the inflammation process and prevent abnormal pressures from building up around the joint. If the internal pressure of the joint is increased too much, surrounding tissues and nerves can be compressed and damaged resulting in prolonged recovery time. Compression is used to aid in preventing swelling in the surrounding tissues of the joint. The joint should also be elevated to allow excess fluids to flow away from the area of injury. The most common question asked about icing an injured area is how long to keep the ice on. When icing an injured area, the cold compress should not be left on for more than 20 minutes every 2 hours. When ice is used for prolonged periods of time the skin and underlying tissues can become frozen and the frostbite process can begin. By limiting the use of ice to 20 minutes every 2 hours, it gives the tissues a chance to recover and return to normal. Within the first 24-36 hours following an injury, ice should be the only thing used on the injured area. Following the first 36 hours a contrast treatment can be started. Contrast treatments involve alternating heat and cold over a short period of time. Throughout my practice, I have found the most effective method consists of icing the area for four minutes, then using heat for two minutes, ice for two minutes; heat for two minutes and so on for a total of 20 minutes treatment time, ending with heat. Once again, this treatment should be performed once every two hours allowing the tissues to return to their normal state. Joints of the body get the most therapeutic benefit (nutrients in and waste products out) by motion of the joint itself. However, following an injury, excess motion can do more damage, or increase the pain in the area. By using this type of treatment you create a kind of internal pump. By using the ice you make the blood vessels constrict, moving blood away from the area and carrying waste products, produced by the healing process, with it. By using heat you dilate the vessels and increase the flow of blood to the area, thus carrying nutrients to the injured tissues. By alternating heat and ice, the blood is moved more efficiently in and out of the healing tissues, speeding up the healing process. This type of treatment can be used from 36-72 hours following an injury. Seventy-two hours after an injury has occurred, heat can be used by itself. The function of heat is to increase the flow of blood to an area. Heat is most commonly used to decrease muscle spasms and ease tightness. However, when one is experiencing what is believed to be a tight muscle from excess exercise and/ or work, more often than not inflammation is also present and should be treated with ice in the beginning. If you are unsure of what type of injury you have experienced, the safest and most effective treatments should always start with ice. Ice will never increase damage to an injured area if these guidelines are followed. Heat, on the other hand, can increase the chances of producing more problems within the injured area. |
