Minor injuries may often be treated with R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevation), which can be particularly helpful during the first 24 to 48 hours after an injury to reduce swelling and pain.
For more severe injuries, R.I.C.E. can be helpful however the injury may require a period of non weight bearing {not putting weight or stress on the injury} with a longer recovery period prior to getting back to normal activities.
