How do I use ice or heat treatment for pain?
Both heat and cold treatment can help reduce pain, however, it can be confusing to decide which is more appropriate at any given time.
These basic rules may help:
Use ice packs for acute pain, swelling and inflammation.
Use heat for chronic pain.These are general rules but if cold feels unpleasant, then heat may provide more comfort.
Different types of injury need different treatments to heal properly. Ice and heat are not substitutes for medical evaluation and treatment.
Below are clips with advice on work station set-up, posture advice and rehabilitation exercises by Central London Osteopathy Clinic.
