Cold or heat? Which should I turn to for pain relief?

A very frequent question is when we should apply cold or heat. Let's clear up all the differences between the two concepts!

when to choose cold
The application of ice reduces blood flow to the injured area, helping to decrease inflammation and edema . In addition, it acts as an analgesic and should be applied after exercise or after pain-producing activity .

Ice can be applied to impact injuries , such as trauma , or to acute (recent) inflammation , such as sprains, strains, bruises or even chronic traumatic pathologies .

Method for applying ice:

• Ice packs (can be gel or crushed ice);
• Cold compresses (dipped in ice water);
• Ice bath ;
• Ice cube massage ;
• Coolant spray .
• The most frequently used method is ice packs . But, it is also possible to also put ice cubes in a bag and place a thin cloth to cover the affected area. With this you can make an “ice massage” by moving the bag in the area of ​​discomfort to prevent it from coming into contact in a specific location for a long time.

To reduce edema, it is beneficial to associate the application of ice with lifting the injured body part above the level of the heart.

How much time?
The compresses or ice packs should be applied for 10 to 15 min . It is very important not to exceed this time (maximum 20min), as it could have the opposite effect.

Ice is a vasoconstrictor and, when applied for too long, it can greatly reduce the blood flow to the injured area, thus slowing down the healing process. Putting on for a long time can also lead to frostbite.

How many times?
It is important to allow the tissues to “warm up” until ice is again applied to the injured area (at least 30 minutes between applications).

when to turn to heat
The application of heat promotes increased blood flow and inflammation . It is often used in muscle alterations such as contractures and muscle tension , with the purpose of muscle relaxation and analgesia. Heat is used, for example, to relieve pain in the neck and lumbar spine . Note that it should not be applied to inflamed or edema areas.

• Methods for applying heat:
• Moist heat in the hydrocollector ;
• Hot compresses ;
• Hot baths ;
• Paraffin and mud .

How much time?
It should normally be applied for 15-20 minutes at a comfortable temperature .

Please note that using heat for a long time at very high temperatures can cause burns !

Cold or heat?
The cold or heat should not be used on skin lesions as open wounds, burns or if the area is numb. It may not be suitable for people with conditions that reduce the feeling of cold or heat, such as diabetic neuropathy.

In some cases, alternating heat and cold (contrast therapy) can be beneficial as it will increase blood flow to the injured area . This technique is widely used in order to reduce muscle pain after intense physical exercise.

The use of ice or heat is only part of the treatment program . Even with the relief of symptoms, it is necessary and essential to perform exercises to restore flexibility, strength and skills needed for sport or everyday life . That is why monitoring by your doctor or physiotherapist is essential !
