How do you know when to apply heat or cold to relieve pain?


By Dr. Sanjay Gupta

 Choosing between #hot and #cold #therapy for common #aches and #injuries can be tricky. In general, cold helps minimize #inflammation, and heat helps #relax #muscles, #joints, and #blood #vessels.

Cold is usually best for a fresh injury, like a #bruise or a #sprain. Applying #ice or a cold #pack immediately reduces #swelling by causing blood vessels to constrict. Cold should only be used for the first 48 hours or so after an injury.

For #chronic or #recurring pain, you want more blood in the area because it contains #oxygen and #nutrients that help #healing. That’s when heat should be applied to help open blood vessels.
