What are the ins and outs of hot and cold
pain treatments? Two camps provide strong opposing arguments: one of them
supports the use of cold compresses, while the other supports the use of heat
therapy (such as hot stone kit massages). Regardless of which type of treatment
with which you avail, here are some tips that can guide you in deciding which
type of treatment is more appropriate:
1. Use ice treatments for strains and
injuries within 48 hours
Ironically, even with all of today's
medical wonders, ice remains a simple yet effective method for treating sore
necks and backs. You can use this treatment solely, or combine it with other
types of treatments. When treating fresh injuries, ice can provide several
benefits, including:
o lower
swelling
o reduced
tissue damage
o fewer
muscle spasms
o decreased
pain
