Content: The splint should not be too tight, which can inhibit blood circulation and lead to numbness or tingling sensations. If wearing a splint is uncomfortable, you may remove it each day for some time, but be sure not to bend your finger too much. You may need to wear the splint for 1 to 4 weeks, depending upon the severity of the injury and how quickly the finger heals. Advertisements
For a minor jammed finger, you can even tape the affected finger to an adjacent finger and be sure to restrict usage and allow it to rest. 3. 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.
