Cold application is often used for acute injuries to help control pain and swelling injury. In certain injuries considered chronic when symptoms of inflammation are present, application of ice is recommended.
Why not apply heat after an injury?
The application of heat when the symptoms of inflammation are present (pain, swelling, tenderness and redness) may cause a worsening of symptoms.
The application of ice should be used to help relieve the symptoms of inflammation. Once these symptoms disappeared, the heat may be applied.
