The RICE technique
The effectiveness of this technique in reducing pain and inflammation at the injury site has been demonstrated. The R represents repose, I represents ice, C represents compression, and E represents elevation. Following these measures can result in a significant reduction in pain and swelling. The most effective treatment for foot injuries is maximum recuperation. This rest permits the muscles and ligaments to recover in a healthy manner. While recuperating, begin applying ice to the injured area. Blood circulation is slowed by icing, which reduces inflammation. The application of an elastic medical bandage to the injured area will aid in the reduction of edoema. The act of elevating the injured area above the level of the heart. This elevation reduces the blood flow to the injured area.
