Natural Pain Relief

How Can Heat Therapy & Cold Therapy Benefit Me In My Daily Life Or Healing Process?

Heat Therapy & Cold Therapy are the two most common types of passive, non-invasive, and non-addictive treatments. Medical studies indicate that Heat Therapy & Cold Therapy are an effective pain relief solution. They also help promote relaxation and reduce stress and tension.

Hot & Cold TherapiesHow Heat Therapy Works?

Heat Therapy induces vasodilation (dilating blood vessels) which helps increase blood circulation. Blood drawn into the target tissues delivers needed oxygen and nutrients and removes cell wastes. The soothing warmth helps:

  • Decreases muscle spasm.
  • Relaxes tense muscles.
  • Relieves pain.
  • Increase the range of motion.

Heat therapy is used to dealing with chronic pain. The recommended duration of heat therapy treatment is 20-30 minutes.

How Cold Therapy (Cryotherapy) Works?

Cold therapy produces vasoconstriction (decreasing the blood circulation) which slow the blood flow and other fluids into the injured tissue. The cooling treatment:

  • Reduces swelling & inflammation.
  • Reduces muscle spasm.
  • Relieves pain.

Cold therapy is commonly used to relieve acute pain (approximately the first 3-5 days of an acute injury). The recommended duration of cold therapy is 10-15 minutes.
