Description

Should Injuries / Strains be treated with HOT or COLD Therapy? There are two basic types of injury , acute and chronic. Acute injuries are sudden, sharp, traumatic injuries that occur immediately (or within hours) and cause pain (possibly severe pain). Most often acute injuries result from some sort of impact or trauma such as a fall, sprain, or collision and it's pretty obvious what caused the injury. Acute injuries also cause common signs and symptoms of injury such as pain, tenderness, redness, skin that is warm to the touch, swelling and inflammation. If you have swelling, you have an acute injury. Chronic injuries on the other hand, can be subtle and slow to develop. They sometimes come and go, and may cause dull pain or soreness. They are often the result of overuse, but sometimes develop when an acute injury is not properly treated and doesn't heal. Cold Therapy Cold therapy such as Cold Packs can be the best immediate treatment for acute injuries because it reduces swelling and pain. Cold packs can be considered to be a vaso-constrictor (it causes the blood vessels to narrow) and it limits internal bleeding at the injury site. Apply a pack within its outer cover (never directly against the skin) to the affected area for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Allow the skin temperature to return to normal before cooling a second or third time. You can cool an acute injury several times a day for up to three days.
