Acute management of soft tissue musculoskeletal injuries*
Intervention Application and guidance
Protection and rest
  • Unload and avoid movements in plane of injury.
  • Avoid painful movements.
  • Degree of protection (eg, wrap versus brace or crutches) and duration of rest depend on severity of injury.
Ice application
  • Reduces pain and swelling.
  • Apply for approximately 15 minutes, then remove for 45 minutes. May be applied hourly while awake.
  • For significant injury, can apply for 48 to 72 hours.
  • Use barrier (eg, thin, slightly damp towel) to avoid frostbite.
  • Avoid in:
    • True cold allergy
    • Digits affected by Raynaud syndrome
    • Tissues affected by severe peripheral vascular disease
    • Open wounds
    • Areas with local infection
Compression
  • Helps to reduce swelling, unload movements, and protect affected joints.
  • Compression bandages and braces should not cause pain or impair blood flow.
Elevation
  • Reduces swelling and pain.
  • Raise injured tissue (usually the affected limb) above the level of the heart for upper extremity injury and above the pelvis for lower extremity injury.
  • Generally maintained for 48 to 72 hours after any injury likely to cause significant swelling.

* Applies to injuries affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, and some related tissues (eg, meniscus).
