Inflammation is information.

Someone asked me about ice

A student stepped off a curb wrong and twisted an ankle.

No fracture, just an irritated joint. She had been resting and icing it.

She asked how we think about ice here. It is a good question.

The short answer

Ice is a good tool. Try not to go straight for it.

Why

Your body is not making a mistake when it swells.

Inflammation is part of healing, not a fault to shut down.

When we let it unfold, the brain stays connected and starts to learn.

That is where real change begins.

None of this is advice for a fracture. Go see someone for that.
