Running around the garden frantically helping the Easter Bunny on Sunday, 19 April? Chasing after small children before they launch a full-scale attack on a younger sibling who has bagged (or basketed?!) more eggs than they have?
Common complaints we treat are twisted ankles and wrists. Contrary to popular belief – chiropractic is not just for back pain, neck pain and headaches.
We are closed on Sundays, but in the meantime, you can:
Rest – sit down and supervise the cooking of the Sunday roast
Ice – take the ice you prepared to use for your cocktail and put it in a zip lock bag, wrap that in a tea towel and apply it to the injured area
Compress – wrap the area with an elastic bandage to decrease swelling, but not too tightly, as this can have an adverse effect
Elevate – keep the injured area at or above heart level
As the pain lessens, usually within 48 hours, you can book in for a chiropractic adjustment to realign the bones for a grade 1 sprain. The adjustment, along with icing, will decrease the pain, swelling and inflammation to improve mobility and function.
