Why do we elevate injuries to promote recovery? If this is the correct thing to do, why does the body send more blood to the injury?
In: 299
Injury repair in the body needs both the circulatory system and the lymphatic system, both of which are effected by gravity. So by elevating the injured area, there is less resistance on these system. Likewise, if something is bleeding, you should elevate it above the heart trying to get it to stop bleed quicker.
