Injured in Charlotte, NCKnowing what to do when you are injured

Are you injured, and are trying to cope with chronic pain? You next step should be to schedule an evaluation with one of Charlotte’s top chiropractors. When injuries go untreated, or are not treated properly, you hinder recovery or even make it worse. Sometimes we think that an injury is insignificant, but something as simple as a bruised muscle can become something far worse.

ICE

  • Cooling the tissues with ice is important to limit or reduce swelling.
  • It is also a natural way to relieve pain and forego the use of harmful pain medications.
  • To get the maximum results, apply ice to the injured area for 20 minutes, and then remove the ice for at 30 minutes before applying again.
  • Make sure that you insulate the ice with a towel to protect your skin from developing frost bite.

COMPRESSION

  • Compression is one of the most effective ways to reduce swelling when ice is not being applied.
  • Simply wrap the injury in an elastic bandage or tape.
  • Make sure that natural is restricted, but not so tight that the blood circulation is not cut off.
