Recommended: Chapter 14: Soft Tissue Injuries

Hello Tiera, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate is really good for soft issue injuries. When an injury happens soft tissue may damage. The soft tissue may bruise, bleed, swell, and may inflame. This can happen internally and externally. Eventually, the damaged tissue is replaced by collagen when healing. During that process scar tissue is usually formed. If you are into more of a natural approach I definitely think arnica gel or calming balms are amazing. I personally prefer anything natural to help with my healing process.

  • The Graston Technique

    1352 Words  | 3 Pages

    Graston instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (GITSM) is a tool used by therapist and chiropractors to help break up the scar tissue and replace it with fibroblast allowing for faster recoveries (Black 2010). A series of heat, GISTM, then strength and flexibility training are required (Black 2010). Numerous studies have been conducted, by certified therapist qualified in GISTM, to examine the styles and recovery periods after an injury. After going through the treatment, patients are measured by their range of motion (ROM) to see if the treatments were effective or not (Black 2010). ROM can vary depending on the region of the body that is being treated, but the overall goal of GISTM is to allow a person to get back to their regular routines they had before their injury. A study conducted by Logan College of Chiropractic shows that plantar fasciitis (foot) can be treated by GISTM on the first day of treatment (Daniels and Morrell 2012). Another study by Duke University shows that GISTM can be effective for patients after surgery that had an injury in the Patellar tendon (knee) (Black 2010). After several treatments, GISTM can, also, be used to treat a compression fracture in the lumbar (back) (Papa 2012). Each study shows the method of GISTM, the patient’s recovery period along with the methods of recovery.

  • The Use of Ice Packs for Injuries

    Icing a small injury can be a very effective short term treatment. Cold treatments decrease swelling, numb pain, and can limit internal bleeding. Icing doesn’t have to last for a specific time and depending on the injury and person the length of your icing should vary. One way I know when to be done icing is CBAN. C stands for cooling. You should first feel the coolness. Next will come the burning and the aching. Finally you should feel numb. The numbness is the key that you can remove the coolant. Even after the icing has been completed you continue to get benefits. “Intramuscular temperature continues to drop after the modality has been removed. Results of various studies are consistent on the effects on neuromuscular and pain process”, (Meeusen R, Livens P, 1986). When an injury occurs you also should always remember RICE. Rice stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Rest helps keeping the injured body part from overworking and straining ever more. The ice, as said before has many benefits, and can even help the injury heal faster. Compression will keep most swelling down as well as giving support to the injury. Finally Elevation is another way to keep swelling dow...

    The initial goal is to reduce the surrounding inflammation, applying ice is very important to reduce inflammation. Foot orthotics can reduce the strain in the plantar fascia during static loading, minimize the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch, and reduce pronation. The usage of orthotics and heel pads is to achieve maximum comfort and proper alignment of the foot. A night splint keeps the patients ankle in a neutral position overnight, while passively stretching the calf and plantar fascia during sleep. This may allow the plantar fascia to heal. A corticosteroid injection may be use if conservative treatments fail. Steroid injections can be repeated, but patient should be warned of complications such as plantar fascia rupture (Porter and Shadbolt, 2005). Physical therapy treatments such as ultrasound therapy, and laser therapy are used in treating and heeling plantar fascia. A combination of non- operative treatment modalities may have up to 90 per cent success rate in treating plantar fasciitis with a year (Singh, 1997 and Davis,

It has a gentle "no-touch" applicator so applying is a breeze. I don't have to touch it and was amazed at how easy it seems to absorb into my skin.

    RICE stands for rest, ice, compression, elevation. The rest means to take some time off from the sport. Always rest the injured body part for 1 to 2 days after the injury occurs. If the injury is serious, a healthcare provider will decide how much rest is right. The I in RICE stands for ice. “Ice helps control swelling and inflammation around the injured area. Ice should be put on an injury as soon as possible. Putting ice on early usually helps the injury heal faster.” Ice should never be put directly on the injury. Wrap the ice in a paper towel or a towel. A cold bag of vegetables or even a cold water bottle will work. Compression is meant to help limit the swelling, it also provides extra support to the injury. Using trainer’s tape, elastic bandage, or even a cloth will work. But make sure whatever is used is not wrapped too tightly. Elevation is another way to decrease swelling, but with the help of gravity. Try to keep the injured part above the heart. This helps the blood go back to the heart which helps stops swelling. If the injured part of the body can not get above the heart, keep it parallel to the ground. RICE should be used during the first 24 to 48 hours of an injury. In addition, physical therapy can help a gymnast or athlete recover from an injury and avoid future injury. “A physical therapist can help reduce pain
