Learn More About Cold Therapy

  • Cold therapy involves applying cold temperatures to an injured area to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. It works by constricting blood vessels, which reduces blood flow to the area and slows down the inflammatory response.

  • Cold therapy can provide several benefits, including:

    • Pain relief: Cold can numb nerve endings and reduce pain signals.
    • Reduced inflammation: By constricting blood vessels, cold therapy can limit the amount of fluid that leaks into tissues, reducing swelling.
    • Decreased muscle spasms: Cold can help relax muscles and reduce spasms.
    • Faster recovery: Cold therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation after exercise or injury, potentially speeding up recovery.
  • Cold therapy is commonly used for:

    • Sprains and strains
    • Muscle soreness  
    • Arthritis  
    • Tendonitis  
    • Bursitis  
    • Minor burns
  • You can apply cold therapy several times a day for 15-20 minutes at a time, but always allow at least 1-2 hours between applications to allow the tissues to return to their normal temperature.

    Prior to using cold therapy, consult with your medical provider to ensure it's safe for you.

  • Avoid cold therapy if you have:

    • Raynaud's phenomenon: A condition that causes blood vessels in the fingers and toes to overreact to cold.  
    • Cold hypersensitivity: An allergy to cold.  
    • Nerve damage: Cold can further damage nerves.  
    • Poor circulation: Cold can further reduce blood flow to the area.  
    • Open wounds: Cold can slow down wound healing.

    Consult with your doctor prior to beginning cold therapy.

Perfect cold pack!!

Having recent foot surgery - I needed a cold pack that could be kept in place with some kind of strap. Look no more! Not only did the smaller one (2 are included) keep the ice pack where I wanted it - these cold packs stay cold longer (important) and are more flexible to place on joints than any others I've tried. I will never waste time getting any others! Highly recommend!!
