Presentation Transcript

  1. Hot or Cold Packs: Which Therapy Works Best? • Hot and Cold Pack therapy are often recommended to help relieve an aching pain that results from muscle or joint damage. • Basic hot pack therapy, or thermotherapy can involve the use of a hot water bottle, pads that can be heated in a microwave, or a warm bath. • For cold packtherapy, or cryotherapy, a water bottle filled with cold water, a pad cooled in the freezer, or cool water can be used.

  2. Fast facts on cold and heat treatment • Cold Packtreatment reduces Inflammation by decreasing blood flow. Apply within 48 hours after an injury. • Hot Pack treatment promotes blood flow and helps muscles relax. Use for chronic pain. • Alternating Hot and Cold may help reduce exercise-induced muscle pain. • Never use extreme heat, and never put ice directly on the skin.

  3. Cold Pack Therapy • Cold Pack treatment reduces blood flow to an injured area. This slows the rate of inflammation and reduces the risk of swelling and tissue damage. • It also numbs sore tissues, acting as a local anesthetic, and slows down the pain messages being transmitted to the brain. • Ice Pack can help treat a swollen and inflamed joint or muscle. It is most effective within 48 hours of an injury.

  4. Hot Pack Therapy • Applying hot packto an inflamed area will dilate the blood vessels, promote blood flow, and help sore and tightened muscles relax. • Improved circulation can help eliminate the buildup of lactic acid waste occurs after some types of exercise. Heat is also psychologically reassuring, which can enhance its analgesic properties. • Hot Pack therapy is usually more effective than cold at treating chronic muscle pain or sore joints caused by Arthritis.

  5. Alternating Hot and Cold Pack • When cold packis applied to the body, the blood vessels contract, vasoconstriction occurs. This means that circulation is reduced, and pain decreases. • Removing the cold causes vasodilatation, as the veins expand to overcompensate. • As the blood vessels expand, circulation improves, and the incoming flow of blood brings nutrients to help the injured tissues heal.

  6. Alternating Hot and Cold Pack • Alternating hot and cold pack can be useful for: • osteoarthritis • exercise-induced injury or DOMS • Contrast water therapy (CWT) uses both heat and cold to treat pain. • Studies show that it is more effective at reducing EIMD and preventing DOMS than doing nothing.

  7. Hot and Cold Pack Tips • Hot Pack should not be used on a new injury, an open wound, or if the person is already overheated. The temperature should be comfortable. It should not burn. • Ice Pack should not be used if a person is already cold. Applying ice to tense or stiff muscles in the back or neck may make the pain worse. • Heat and cold treatment may not be suitable for people with diabetic neuropathy or another condition that reduces sensations of hot or cold, such as Reynaud's syndrome, or if they are very young or old, or have cognitive or communication difficulties.
