ICE and HEAT |
|
The doctor may apply ice to your neck or back after an injury to help reduce swelling. Cooling an inflamed area is the goal and ice should be used "on and off" for at least 3 days following an acute trauma or injury. Moist heat relaxes muscles when swelling is not present. It also aids in proper nutrient transmission through better circulation. Whenever in doubt, USE ICE |
