Content: Keep the Finger Elevated
When suffering from a jammed finger, keep the affected finger elevated above chest level. This will increase venous return of blood to the systemic circulation, which in turn reduces discomforts like swelling, inflammation and pain. Elevation also facilitates elimination of waste products and speeds up the healing process. Elevation is one of the elements of ‘RICE’, a mnemonic for 4 elements used to treat soft tissue injuries. RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. While sleeping or sitting, keep a few pillows by your side on which to rest and elevate your hand. Advertisements
4. Rest the Finger
To ensure quick healing, you need to allow the injured finger to rest. Proper rest is a key component for repairing soft tissue damage. Continual strain will lead to increased inflammation, pain and possible further injury.
