Ngaba Ufanele Umkhenkce Ngokwenzakala Ezemidlalo?

Enye yezona mpikiswano ziphambili kukonzakala kwezemidlalo kukuba ingaba ubushushu okanye umkhenkce usebenza ngokunyanga uxinzelelo lwemisipha-kodwa kuthekani ukuba ingqele ayisebenzi nje kuphela kunokushushubeza, kodwa ayisebenzi kwaphela? Kuyavela ukuba, izihlunu zomkhenkce ezonzakeleyo zisenokungancedi ukukhawulezisa ukubuyisela ixesha okanye ukuphilisa izihlunu, uxela iphepha elitsha elivezwe kwiveki ephelileyo kwiNtlanganiso ye-Biology yovavanyo. (Eyona nto ilula ukuyilungisa? Baphephe ukuqala kwabo! Amaxesha ama-5 Uqhelene noKonzakala kweMidlalo.)

Abaphandi base-Australia baphatha iigundane kunye ne-muscle contusions-eyona nto iyimibhobho yemisipha, eyona nto ixhaphakileyo yokulimala kwezemidlalo ecaleni kwe-strains-kunye ne-ice compresses ngaphakathi kwemizuzu emihlanu yokulimala kwemizuzu ye-20 iyonke. Xa kuthelekiswa neempuku ezonzakeleyo ezingafumananga ncedo, iqela lomkhenkce lalineeseli ezisezantsi zokudumba kunye nokuhlaziywa komtya ophezulu wegazi kwiintsuku ezintathu zokuqala-iindaba ezilungileyo, kuba zombini ezi zinto zibangela ukudumba. Nangona kunjalo, emva kweentsuku ezisixhenxe, eneneni babeneeseli ezivuthayo kunye nemithambo yegazi emitsha eyenzileyo kunye nokuvuselelwa kwefayibha yomsipha. Ezi mpendulo zingenakunceda zaqhubeka yonke inyanga emva kokulimala.

Ezi ziphumo zinomdla, nokuba isifundo sisengaphambili kwaye asiqinisekiswanga ebantwini. Kodwa ngelixa oku kusongeza kwingxoxo malunga nokuba umkhenkce uyacothisa na inkqubo yokuphilisa okanye hayi, isayensi ibonakalise ukuba umkhenkce ulungile kwinto ethile: ukunciphisa iintlungu zokulimala kwezihlunu, utshilo uTimothy Mauro, ugqirha oqinisekisiweyo womzimba kunye neqabane eNew-York- Isiseko soNyango loMzimba. Uyacacisa: "Umkhenkce uthintela impendulo ye-nociceptive-yeeseli zakho zemithambo-enciphisa iintlungu." (Ikwanceda ii-aches ezimsulwa zasemva kokuzilolonga, kunye nezi Ndlela ze-6 zokuNciphisa izihlunu ezibuhlungu emva koqeqesho olugqithisileyo.)

Ayisiyonto nje yokuthuthuzela. Intlungu encinci ikuvumela ukuba usebenze ngakumbi, ubandakanye izihlunu kunye nokuqhubela phambili ukubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo, utshilo uRose Smith, ugqirha wezonyango oqinisekisiweyo kunye noprofesa onxulumene nesayensi yokuvuselela kwiYunivesithi yaseCincinnati. "I-icing ayinakuvumela umntu ukuba enze kwinqanaba elidlulileyo, kodwa kuyanceda ukuvumela ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo ukuba kuqhubeke," uyongeza. Ngaphezu koko, iintlungu zithintela amandla-injongo enkulu yokubuyisela umsipha owenzakeleyo, uMauro wongezelela.

Ngaphandle kokufunyaniswa kolu phando, bobabini uSmith noMauro basancoma ukusebenzisa umkhenkce ngokukhawuleza emva kokulimala ukunceda intlungu kunye nokuvuvukala kwangoko. Nje ukuba ukuvuvukala kungene, nangona kunjalo, kufuneka uyeke i-icing, qalisa ukuzivocavoca okulula (njengokuhamba okufutshane), kwaye uphakamise isisipha xa ungami, uSmith uthi. Kwaye jonga indlela yobushushu: Ngokwe-Mayo Clinic, eyona ndlela yokunyanga izihlunu ezibandayo kukuqala ngokunyanga okubandayo kunye nonyango lobushushu kamva, kuba ukufudumala kukhuthaza ukuhamba kwegazi okungcono kunye nokuhamba kwegazi kuloo ndawo, kususa ukwakheka okubangela ukudumba.
