ROLE OF COLD THERAPY:
 
Reduced swelling:
  • The cold causes blood vessels to contract which reduces the blood flow.
Reduced infl ammation:
  • Limiting the activity of tissue around the original injury helps prevent a secondary injury.
Pain relief:
  • Numbing the affected area helps alleviate pain.
Alleviation of fatigue:
  • The blood vessels temporarily contract. The elimination of lactic acid is accelerated.
Quick resumption of physical activity:
  • Temporarily desensitizes the affected area.
  • Facilitates the completion of rehabilitation exercises.
Cold therapy, or icing, is an important step in the R.I.C.E. protocol Injuries come with symptoms of infl ammation such as pain and swelling. If the injury goes untreated, the damage may worsen, which could delay recovery.

Cold therapy prevents the injury from spreading while reducing pain and swelling. It also promotes a swift recovery.
