As the saying goes, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and this absolutely applies when it comes to preventing minor injuries. Whether the activity is taking part in sports, or cooking on the BBQ in the backyard, minor injuries are very common. Many are also avoidable if the right precautions and preventive measures are taken. Preventing a minor injury can be as simple as wearing protective equipment like gloves or goggles, condition muscles and increase flexibility before the activity by stretching and take a rest period to avoid overheating or prevent illness related to the heart. And most importantly, stop the activity if pain or injury occur. For the treatment of minor injuries, especially if they occur outside of your primary care provider’s regular hours, our team of medical professionals at Island Medical and Beauty Clinic are fully equipped and trained to treat all minor injuries.
