Cold Therapy
Cold therapy, also called cryotherapy, is one of the most effective tools in reducing pain and inflammation. It is commonly used after an acute injury (such as a sprain) to control the resulting swelling and pain. How does cold therapy work? The application of cold therapy causes the blood vessels to narrow, reducing the amount of blood that flows into the area. This lessens the amount of swelling that occurs.
Besides first aid, cold therapy is often used by athletes post-activity, and is often indicated for post-surgery inflammation and pain management. Body cooling products can be a real help to those with heat intolerance and those who work in hot temperatures. We have all your cold therapy products at Painreliever.com, including ice packs and ice wraps for every body area, continuous flow cold therapy for post-op, and much more. |
