Description: Cold therapy application causes blood vessels to become smaller in diameter. This constriction limits the amount of blood coming to the injured area; therefore, less fluid leaks into the injured tissue.
Benefits: Cold therapy will help minimize the complications of swelling by decreasing the leakage of fluids and increasing the rate of re-absorption of unwanted fluid in the injured tissues. It is important to remember that swelling is a natural occurrence; you don't want to stop the swelling, but you want to control the swelling so there is not as much pain.
