Acute inflammation after injury

Preview

Although many people know something about the RICE technique to treat musculoskeletal injury, few use it correctly or long enough. As Dr Baumert explains, the sooner inflammation is controlled, the less damage is done and the sooner rehabilitation can begin. He describes appropriate use of physical and medical modifiers in arresting the inflammatory process and proper choice of therapeutic exercises to restore range of motion, strength, and endurance.
