A hand or wrist injury can happen in an instant — whether it’s a fall, a sports mishap, or even a slip while cooking. Knowing what to do right away can make a big difference in your recovery. 🖐️

If an injury occurs, follow these quick first-aid steps:
✅ Stop activity immediately and rest the injured area
✅ Apply ice for 15–20 minutes to reduce pain and swelling
✅ Keep the hand or wrist elevated above heart level
✅ Use a soft splint or wrap for gentle support — avoid wrapping too tightly
✅ Seek professional evaluation if pain, swelling, or stiffness continues

Early care helps prevent complications and supports faster healing. If you’ve had a recent injury, our orthopedic specialists at OSSM are here to help you recover safely and get back to doing what you love. 💚
