On average there are hundreds of sports injuries sustained by athletes around the world each day. Cumulatively mankind has thousands of years of experience in treating injuries of all types. Acute sports injuries are extremely common in every sport, and are distinguished from other injuries because they occur suddenly and are not caused by chronic conditions. Acute injuries include but are not limited to sprains, strains, contusions, dislocation, and fractures. Most sports injuries can be treated at home, but some may require emergency help. Fortunately, these sports injuries can be healed using the P.R.I.C.E. concept. are signs or symptoms of a serious injury (deformity, severe swelling and/or pain), emergency first aid should be provided while keeping the athlete calm and still until emergency service personnel arrive on scene.

However, most acute sports injuries can be treated safely at home using the P.R.I.C.E. principle. This is a famous acronym commonly used by coaches, personal trainers and physical therapists,m which stands for protections, rest, ice, compression and elevation. P.R.I.C.E is the price you have to pay for having a sports injury, but the reward will be well worth it if you can maintain the technique until the injury is feeling well enough to facilitate mobility, and combine this with gradual physical therapy. Remember to keep the injury protected, keep it elevated, ice it during the beginning, and soak it in hot Epsom salt bath towards the end. Rest is essential towards tissue regeneration.
