Compression bandaging is commonly used when helping patients recover from injury. Typically used for strains and sprains, compression bandaging is an effective way to both manage and bring down swelling and inflammation after an injury. It can also be used to help stabilize an injured joint.
For compression bandaging to be the most effective, it should be paired with a regimen of rest, ice, and elevation. If you need help remembering this regimen, we recommend you always think of the acronym R.I.C.E. after sustaining a minor injury.
