HOT & COLD PACK
Cold therapy is often used immediately following an injury or activity and for at least 48 hours thereafter. Hot therapy is often NOT used for a 48-72 hour time period after injury unless specifically indicated by a health care practitioner and is typically used for longer term, chronic issues. Both hot and cold therapy are typically applied for 15-20 minutes and can be repeated every 1-2 hours. As always, be sure to consult with your health care specialist regarding your specific injury and the indicated treatment solution.
