Sprain treatment: Several things you can do. Most importantly is ice and elevate. Energy healing with Reiki or therapeutic touch could help. Acupuncture is also a great choice. NSAIDS for swelling and inflammation and things like arnica, bromelin, chrondroitin sulfate also help with inflammation and healing.
