Prevention and treatment of sports injuries

Friends who exercise regularly know that even if they perform relevant warm-up exercises before exercise, it is still difficult to guarantee that sports injuries will not occur during exercise. The symptoms of sports injuries can be mild or severe. Mild cases are just minor abrasions that can be treated with simple treatment, while severe cases may even result in dislocation or fracture, with very serious consequences. So below we will introduce in detail the methods of prevention and treatment of sports injuries.

prevention:

1) Master the relevant knowledge of preventing sports injuries and overcome the mentality of carelessness, recklessness, etc.

2) Observe discipline, follow instructions, wear loose sportswear, do not carry any knives, keys or other hard objects in your pockets, and do not move equipment at will.

3) Do adequate warm-up before intense exercise and competition, relax after exercise, and do not eat or drink a lot of water immediately after exercise.

4) Tailor your activities to your body, try to choose activities that suit you, and control the amount of exercise appropriately.

deal with:

1) Treatment of abrasions: If the wound is clean (if it is not clean, rinse it with clean water), apply mercurochrome or gentian violet or put on a Band-Aid and it will heal itself. For more serious cases, the first thing to do is to stop the bleeding. As appropriate, use cold compresses, limb elevation, pressure bandages, direct finger pressure to stop bleeding, etc. to treat the wound. If necessary, go to the hospital for wound cleaning, suturing, medication, bandaging, etc. to avoid infection or excessive bleeding.

2) Treatment of nosebleed: Let the injured person sit down, tilt his head back, breathe through the mouth temporarily, plug the nostrils with gauze or clean soft paper, and apply a cold towel to the forehead and nose bridge, which can usually stop the bleeding. If the bleeding still does not stop, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment, and take effective measures in time to prevent fainting due to excessive bleeding.

3) Treatment of sprain: First of all, measures should be taken to stop bleeding and relieve pain. You can elevate the injured limb, rinse the injured area with cold water or apply a cold towel to cool the blood vessels, thereby reducing bleeding and pain. Do not rub it randomly to prevent increased bleeding. Place cotton pads on the injured area and apply pressure with a bandage. After simple treatment, the injured should be sent to the hospital immediately for further medical treatment to avoid delaying treatment.

4) Treatment of contusions: Use a cold towel for cold compresses to constrict blood vessels, reduce bleeding and pain. Place cotton pads on the injured area and apply pressure with a bandage. After simple treatment, the injured should be sent to the hospital immediately for further medical treatment to avoid delaying treatment.

5) Treatment of concussion: Patients with mild concussion can recover after resting in bed for one or two days. For moderate to severe concussion, the injured person should be kept absolutely quiet, lie on his back on a flat surface, apply cold compresses to the head, keep the body warm, and be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

6) Treatment of dislocation: Move gently and do not stretch or twist the joint randomly. Apply cold compress first, put on a bandage, keep the joint fixed, and then go to the hospital immediately for corrective treatment by a doctor.

7) Treatment of fractures: First, comfort the injured person, prevent shock, keep the body warm, and send to the hospital for treatment immediately.
