Discover Hot and Cold Therapy

So, when you're dealing with pain, a lot of docs suggest switching between hot and cold therapy. When you've got a muscle strain, cold can help with the inflammation and numb the pain. Then, once the inflammation goes down, heat can help with the stiffness. But here's the kicker: you can use heat and ice together in a sort of back-and-forth pattern to get your blood flowing and reduce swelling. This can help you move better and feel better faster. It's usually best for injuries that are at least a week old and haven't gotten better with just heat or ice.
