Swelling Elevation Compression Protocol
Swelling elevation compression protocol combines elevation, compression, and short ice for acute injury—while still starting pain-guided movement when safe.
Swelling elevation compression protocol manages acute inflammation: intermittent elevation above heart level, snug compression sleeves or wraps, and brief ice if comfort helps—not twenty-four-hour immobilization. Remove rings and tight shoes; monitor numbness or color change.
Swelling should trend down over days while gentle movement starts.
Common questions
-
How tight should compression be?
Snug enough to feel support without tingling, numbness, or increasing pain—if toes or fingers change color, loosen immediately.
