Treating Winter Injuries and ACE Brand

You may think that the spring and summer are seasons associated with sprains, strains and injuries, but the winter season provides plenty of opportunities to hurt oneself.  Because the most common forms of injuries are sprains and strains of muscles and tendons, it is important to remember the acronym RICE Therapy:

·         Rest: Stop the activity immediately. Continued stress can increase the damage done.
·         Ice: Apply an ACE Brand Reusable Cold Compress. Cold helps quickly relieve pain and swelling. The soft touch fabric contours to the body and remains flexible when cold.
·         Compression: Apply compression with an ACE Brand Self-Adhering Bandage. Compression helps reduce swelling and the bandage’s compact design makes it easy to throw in your bag when you are heading out for a day of activities.
·         Elevation: Elevate the injured limb above the level of the heart to help drain excess fluid from the area.

ACE Brand offers some great products that you will want to have handy for your family's unintended injuries. Their ACE Brand Self-Adhering Bandages provide compression for strenuous activities. They require no clips or fasteners and are designed to provide comfortable support for extended periods of time. They can be used for strains, swelling, and general soreness.  I had no intentions on actually needing to use this product, and then I strained my wrist.  I thought my carpal tunnel was just acting up until I remembered a movement the day prior that was causing pain the following day. I was amazed at how easy it was to apply the bandage with only one hand. It really did self-adhere and stayed in place all day without a problem. It was fairly comfortable as well. It did not stick well after the first use, probably due to the oils in my skin, but after one day of use my wrist felt better. This really beats other bandages which are difficult to keep in place. 



The ACE Brand Reusable Cold Compress features soft touch fabric that contours to the body and remains flexible when cold. It can be placed directly on the skin without any cover or wrap and is ideal for relieving inflammation and joint pain and increasing circulation. We typically use corn-filled freezer packs on the kids but they do not stay very cold for long and other ice-based products we have tried are either too cold or too stiff for comfort. This was, by far, the best cold pack we have ever used. It is large and comfortable to the touch. It is also very soft so it does nothing but immediately soothe an injury or ache. I also like that it is fairly flat so it does not take up too much room in the freezer. 

Buy it here: You can find ACE Brand products at your local drug store, mass merchant, and more.
