• I = ice, use something cold to help with pain relief, reduce swelling & discoloration.
• C = compression, helps disperse swelling, wrap the injured area with a elastic bandage securely above and below the joint or body part.
• E = elevation, raise the injured body part above the heart, sleep with the injured extremity on a pillow if possible.
