Cooling Therapies

Cooling therapies involve using cold temperatures or ice to reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling in the body. They are commonly used after injuries or surgeries to slow blood flow, which helps limit tissue damage and promotes healing. Methods include ice packs, cold baths, or specialized devices that deliver controlled cooling. These therapies can be effective for acute injuries, muscle strains, and post-operative recovery, providing pain relief and decreasing swelling more quickly. Proper application timing and duration are important to avoid tissue damage. Always follow medical advice when using cooling therapies to ensure safe and effective results.
