Elevation helps reduce inflammation primarily by promoting venous return and lymphatic drainage, which decreases fluid accumulation in swollen areas. By raising an injured limb above the level of the heart, gravity aids in the removal of excess interstitial fluid and inflammatory mediators. This can alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve overall healing in the affected area. Additionally, elevation can enhance circulation, further supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
