How To Deal With Sports Injuries
When encountering sports injuries, many people will be brave and continue to exercise when nothing happens, which will make the original injury more serious. How should we deal with sports injuries?
1. Apply ice immediately after sprain
According to experts, after a sprain or strain occurs, it is necessary to stop exercising immediately to avoid aggravating the injury, and to carry out corresponding first aid measures. If cramping occurs, reverse stretch the muscles at the cramping area and perform local massage at the same time. If there is a muscle strain, you should immediately put ice cubes or a cold towel on the sore spot and keep it for 30 minutes. Avoid rubbing and hot compresses.
2. External painkillers for quick pain relief
Acute sprains and strains are mostly accompanied by severe pain. If the pain is unbearable, you can use topical pain relievers such as Voltaren latex instead of blindly enduring it. For pain relief, many of us prefer painkillers. In fact, in terms of efficacy, topical painkillers are comparable to oral painkillers. External painkillers act directly on the local area. When using, just apply directly to the painful area, which can penetrate deeply through the skin and relieve pain quickly and effectively. At the same time, it avoids gastrointestinal irritation, and is safe and convenient to use.
3. Use pain relief patch with caution
Although there are many kinds of pain relief patches, most of them do not have the function of anti-inflammatory. For sprains and strains on weekdays, the pain relief patch cannot be used immediately. The pain relief patch has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which may accelerate the swelling. Experts emphasize that if the sprained part is swollen, the skin is bruised or the pain cannot be relieved for a long time, you should go to the regular hospital immediately.
For this reason, sports experts suggest that to avoid sports injuries, be sure to do preparatory activities, and do some auxiliary warm-up activities for the parts that are prone to injury, such as playing basketball and football before you can target your ankle joints, Knees, press legs. It is also necessary to strengthen self-protection during exercise, choose a suitable sports venue, wear good sports equipment and understand some self-protection actions during exercise. For example, when you lose your balance, you should immediately take a big step forward or backward to avoid falling. When you are about to fall, you should immediately lower your head, bend your elbows, roll your body, land on your back, and roll with the trend. Keep your arms straight on the ground to avoid fractures.
In addition, it is also very important to maintain a good attitude and do not greedily exercise too much each time.
