The face is the most vulnerable area of the body and is usually the least protected. People most at risk of maxilofacial trauma are athletes. Per the Encyclopedia on Maxillofacial trauma, one study reported that 42% of all facial fractures resulted from sports activity. Another study showed that approximately 11-40% of all sports injuries involve the face. These injuries are most often due to direct hits with a ball or player-to-player contacts. Contact sports including MMA, UFC, Wrestling and Boxing have the highest potential for maxillofacial trauma. Other sports activities in which face and head injuries commonly occur include Football, Ice Hockey, Basketball, Rugby and Soccer.
Having a Wisdom Wrap courtside, ready to go in the ring, on the field or in the rink can quickly reduce the potential for pain and swelling to worsen. Apply ice packs immediately after injury, 10-15 minutes every hour for the first twenty-four to thirty-six hours after the incident.
“Cryotherapy”
Cold therapy is also called cryotherapy. Ice numbs the injury. The cold narrows blood vessels and slows down blood flow. This can reduce fluid buildup in the affected area.
Cold is best for acute pain caused by recent tissue damage.
