What to do if your wrist or neck is sprained? There is a good way to relieve sprains

In daily life, when we exercise or carry heavy objects, we may accidentally sprain our wrist or neck. We should rest immediately after spraining our wrist to avoid secondary injury due to excessive force. In addition, we can also use some emergency treatment methods to alleviate the sprain.

1: When you sprain your wrist, there will often be local swelling. Within 24 hours, you can apply cold compresses with ice or a cool towel to prevent the swelling from expanding. Then use hot compresses to improve blood circulation and promote the absorption of blood stasis. After using cold and hot compresses, you can take blood stasis, swelling and pain relief drugs such as Shujin Huoxue tablets, Qilin powder, Dieda pills and other medicines to relax the muscles and tendons, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

2: Tongjin recommends the use of acupuncture for treatment. Acupuncture treatment can not only quickly cure sprains in 1-3 sessions, but also takes less time and costs less money. For those patients who have undergone some treatment before but still feel uncomfortable and have limited mobility, acupuncture treatment can provide further cure.

3: You can also use the following two prescriptions: 50 grams of fresh Achyranthes bidentata, 5 grams of salt. Usage: Wash and mash the foot medicine, add salt and mix well, apply to the affected area, fix with a bandage, and change the dressing once a day.

5: Crush the Panax notoginseng and mix it with water or wine, one to two grams each time. Within one hour after drinking it, the cyanosis will be completely or partially eliminated, but it will continue to occur after five hours, which shows that the medicine is very effective.

6: During the treatment, try to rest as much as possible, which is good for the recovery of the affected area.
