Welcome to Ice-Therapy.On-Topic.net!

Introducing Ice Therapy Topics. Ice Therapy refers to "The use of ice, commercial cold packs, ice massage, active cooling devices or cold water baths to cool soft tissues or joints. Used to numb pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, decrease muscle spasms, reduce bleeding, and lessen bruising. Typically prescribed for acute injuries, musculorskeletal injuries, soft tissue injuries, and overuse injuries. Best used within the first 48-72 hours after injury occurs, in repeated 20-minute sessions. Repeated short icing sessions allow cold to penetrate to deeper tissue without harming skin. The initial response to ice is a numbing, anesthetic sensation. Care should always be taken not to ice one area of skin for more than 20 minutes or frostbite may occur. Ice therapy can also be used on chronic injuries, alternating with heat therapy."
