ABOUT HOT & COLD THERAPY AND PAIN... For many years, Sports Therapists & Chiropractors alike have used HOT & COLD therapy as part of their patients’ rehabilitation process. There are two basic phases the body goes through when an injury occurs. The first (acute) phase takes place immediately after an injury occurs. During this phase inflammation develops as a natural defense mechanism. COLD therapy is recommended immediately to decrease the inflammation, and reduce pain. If a COLD compress is not applied to the injured area, the healing process can be prolonged. Inflammation and swelling can last up to a week or longer depending on the injury. The second phase is often referred to as the chronic phase. During this stage, swelling will have reduced and the body starts to rebuild the damaged tissue. Moist HEAT therapy will relieve tension and tightness in the injured area. Moist HEAT therapy will also increase muscular blood flow, enhance the body’s mobility, and aid in the body’s natural healing process. BACK PAIN Your body is an extremely sophisticated instrument. When hurt, as a defense mechanism the muscles surrounding the injured area will go into spasm. Again, this is the body’s natural defense mechanism against re-injury. This muscle spasm causes the upper and/or lower back to continue feeling tight and sore long after the injury occurred. The use of COLD therapy should be applied at time of injury to reduce the muscular inflammation. HEAT therapy should be applied after the initial phase to increase muscular blood flow and mobility. STRESS Stress, a form of mental injury can cause muscles in you neck, shoulders, and upper back area to tighten and cause pain as well as headaches. The use of moist HEAT will generate blood flow and aid in pain relief. ALLERGIES & SINUS PAIN HOT & COLD therapy can aid in reducing the inflammation and sinus pain caused by allergies.
