R.I.C.E. Therapy to Treat Joint Injuries

WHAT IS R.I.C.E THERAPY?
- The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains of muscles and tendons. Try a basic treatment for these injuries called R.I.C.E. Therapy:
  
  REST
  
  Stop the activity immediately. Continued stress can increase the damage done to the tissue.
  
  ICE
  
  Apply an ACE™ Brand Cold Compress. Cold reduces the size of the blood vessels, thereby decreasing the bleeding, reducing swelling, and easing pain.
  
  COMPRESSION
  
  Apply compression with an ACE™ Brand Bandage. Compression helps to reduce swelling.
  
  ELEVATION
  
  Elevate the injured limb above the level of the heart to help drain excess fluid from the area.
