temperature therapy

Temperature therapy involves applying heat or cold to the body to promote healing and relief from pain. Heat therapy, such as warm packs, increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, and reduces stiffness, making it useful for chronic pain or tension. Cold therapy, like ice packs, constricts blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and numbs soreness, effective for acute injuries or swelling. Both methods help manage discomfort and speed recovery by influencing blood circulation and nerve activity. Proper use and duration are important to avoid skin damage, and it’s best to follow medical guidance for specific conditions.
