(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 20, 2015 ) Titusville, FL -- A sprained ankle does not just occur when doing sports. In fact, it can also happen when the ligaments get overstretched while walking, awkwardly planting a foot when running, landing unbalanced from a jump or simply by stepping on an irregular surface. While the first aid treatments for sprained ankle are widely known, not many people are aware that electrotherapy, with quality electrodes such as Syrtenty® TENS unit pads , can expedite the healing process. But this should only be done after consulting with a doctor.
For the first 48-72 hours after spraining the ankle, it is important to apply the most common form of first aid - Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation, also known as RICE. Resting and keeping the affected area still should slow down the flow of the blood to ankle, which can also reduce the occurrence of further injuries. Applying cold compress to the ankle will alleviate the swelling and the pain. Next, compression thru the use of bandages or tapes will not just reduce swelling and internal bleeding, but will also act as support to the ankle. And lastly, frequently elevating the ankle will also reduce bleeding and swelling.
According to the health site Physioworks, spraining an ankle can increase the risk of re-injury by 40-70%, but proper rehabilitation can decrease this risk. After the 48-72 hours first aid treatment, several options for rehabilitation are ultrasound, heat, and electrotherapy with Syrtenty® electrodes for TENS unit. Although the three are relatively safe, it is very important to consult a doctor before resorting to any kind of rehabilitative procedures.
Syrtenty® manufactures and sells health and personal care products like electrodes for TENS unit . Depending on the pulse rates and intensities, the electric current stimulates the affected areas, which provide pain relief. Also, the TENS unit pads from Syrtenty® have a special conductive gel which allows the current from the TENS unit to be efficiently distributed to the affected area.
Midwest Health Solutions is an authorized seller of Syrtenty® TENS unit pads and other health and personal care products – cervical devices, back brace, bed and chair alarms, lead wires – which can be purchased in Amazon.
