When an injury occurs, the tissues go through 3 main stages of healing - Inflammation, Proliferation and Remodelling... Our bodies are very clever, and always try to heal themselves after injury, although this doesn't always work as effectively as you would like! The time scales overlap (as you can see below) and vary massively, depending on...
  So say you've sprained your ankle... Inflammation occurs initially. This is your body "kick-starting" the healing process. All kinds of chemicals and cells are acting fast to clean up the area and protect from further injury. Your signs and symptoms may include; Heat, Redness, Swelling, Pain and Loss of function. Then comes the Proliferation stage. This is where the wound attempts to "rebuild" by laying down new tissue and developing new blood vessels. Signs and symptoms; Reduced pain, Swelling starting to reduce, Bruising may appear, Heat and Redness reduced. Finally is the Remodelling stage. The wound is getting stronger, but the new fibres aren't aligned well, so scar tissue is produced. Signs and symptoms; Some pain, Movement gradually improving, Minimal to no swelling, heat and redness. Although your body is attempting to make the injured area stronger by laying down scar tissue... this can result in an increased risk of injury and a reduction in range of movement.

When you injure yourself, make sure that you go and have your doctor check it right away. Many people who injure themselves cause more damage to their injuries because they think that it does not need to be checked at the hospital. Even if you only have a sprain, it is still advisable to have it checked by a doctor. The doctor will know exactly what to do. Do not be stubborn because if you cause more damage to your injury, it might get amputated. 15/1/2019 01:11:33 am
This is so helpful, most especially to those athletes. Athletes are prone to having injuries, this will serve as a guide for them. Considering physician can really help you with your injuries, but reading blogs like this will also help you even if you are alone. Every injury you have, have different stages of healing and knowing what to prioritize first will help you to lessen the days of its healing. I hope that many people will see this in order to educate them on what to do when they have their injuries. 29/10/2017 10:34:27 am
