1. 0:00how can you heal a sprained wrist
2. 0:03extremely fast in this video I'm going
3. 0:06to tell you my name is dr. story I've
4. 0:07been a chiropractor for over 24 years
5. 0:09I'm gonna give you realistic advice
6. 0:11based on my experience now in the old
7. 0:14days back in the 1970s which by the way
8. 0:17was over 50 years ago the thought
9. 0:20process behind a sprained wrist was that
10. 0:24you would rest it you would ice it you
11. 0:27would compress it and you would elevate
12. 0:30it and that supposedly would make it
13. 0:32heal faster most of the scientific
14. 0:35literature has debunked that and
15. 0:37actually found that non compressive
16. 0:40joint motion is the best here's the
17. 0:43reason why when you have an injury an
18. 0:46inflammatory reaction occurs and you
19. 0:49need blood to get to the area to bring
20. 0:51oxygen and nutrients to heal that tissue
21. 0:53the second thing that needs to occur to
22. 0:55occur is the waste products from that
23. 0:58injury need to escape if you do nothing
24. 1:01but just lay in bed and just rest the
25. 1:05area then that exchange rate occurs much
26. 1:09slower so let's say that you sprained
27. 1:12your wrist here's what you should do
28. 1:14very lightly without too much pain but
29. 1:19it will hurt a little is you want to
30. 1:21move the wrist back and forth just like
31. 1:24this so if I sprained my wrist you will
32. 1:26just move it back and forth now it's not
33. 1:29unheard of to do a hundred repetitions
34. 1:33multiple times per day meaning 3-4 times
35. 1:36per day then what you're going to do is
36. 1:39just like side to side this motion to is
37. 1:42another movement that you can occur that
38. 1:46you can do and what you'll find is that
39. 1:49the wrist will heal faster now I have
40. 1:53this this is a way another way to get
41. 1:56blood and fluid exchange in that area
42. 1:59what you would do is you would wrap the
43. 2:01wrist very very tightly and I'm gonna
44. 2:04take this band
45. 2:07and tighten it around my wrist now
46. 2:10initially what you're doing is you're
47. 2:12compressing the area but only
48. 2:14temporarily and what you would do while
49. 2:17this is on is try to move the wrist a
50. 2:19little bit and after about thirty
51. 2:22seconds you're gonna let it go and
52. 2:25you're gonna feel a rush of blood going
53. 2:27to that area and then you would move it
54. 2:29again these are two techniques that are
55. 2:32very effective it's kind of the dirty
56. 2:34little secret of sports medicine that if
57. 2:36you want to get things to heal faster
58. 2:40you're going to lightly move them
59. 2:42whereas if someone comes in to my office
60. 2:46with a sprained ankle and they're
61. 2:47they're not athletic and they don't need
62. 2:49it to heal faster and they don't want to
63. 2:52do anything for it then you could just
64. 2:55let them rest it but it will take longer
65. 2:57so if you thought this was interesting
