Proper application of rice--rest, ice, compression, and elevation--can effectively control inflammation due to an ankle sprain. why would compression provided by a correctly wrapped elastic ace bandage be helpful in preventing further inflammation?

The compression provided by a correctly wrapped elastic ace bandage is helpful in preventing further inflammation because IT MOBILIZES AND STABILIZES AN INJURED ANKLE. RICE application works by reducing the blood flow to the injured area.
