Cold therapy is an indisputable therapy for sprain, strains and injuries. With any sprain, strain or injury, there is some bleeding into the underlying tissues. This may cause swelling and pain and delay healing. Ice treatment may do the trick in the immediate treatment of soft tissue injuries and in later rehabilitation.

If your head is reeling under pangs of pain, tell yourself in bold words that you'll be fine because Cold therapy works so quickly as any other treatment cannot. During immediate treatment, the aim is to limit the body's response to injury.

Ice Will:

1. Reduce bleeding into the tissues.

2. Prevent or reduce swelling (inflammation).

3. Reduce muscle pain and spasm.

4. Reduce pain by numbing the area and by limiting the effects of swelling.

We know that a state of injury can be painful and uncomfortable. The use of cold therapy will help to prevent the area from becoming stiff by reducing excess tissue fluid that gathers as a result of injury and inflammation.

Take a few minutes to calm down while I.C.E. Down cold packs help you to deal with injuries and sprains. In the later, or rehabilitation, phase of recovery the aim changes to restoring normal function. At this stage the effects of ice can enhance other treatments, such as exercise, by reducing pain and muscle spasm. This then allows improved movement.

If you are doing exercises as part of your treatment, it can be constructive to apply an ice pack before exercise. This is because after the ice pack is removed the area will still be a little numb. The exercises can also be done with the ice pack in place. This reduces pain and makes movement around the injury more comfortable.

When in a state of injury, use cold therapy for that perfect healing touch/angle and support the healing process like never before. Cold therapy is a perfect solution for proper functioning of the body part as cold has an analgesic effect on soft tissues, due to a combination of decreased production of pain mediators and slower spread of nerve pain signals. While passive cryotherapy systems will help with pain relief, using a system that deploys active cold treatment will draw more heat away from the injury site, leading to more efficient temperature reduction and better pain reduction.
