What Are the Benefits of Hot and Cold Compress Therapy?

Hot and cold compress therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of muscle and joint related ailments, particularly those associated with sporting injuries such as strains, sprains and spasms.

Cold compress is used to reduce pain and swelling of the tissue, thereby reducing inflammation and lowering the recovery time by decreasing blood flow to the area.

This is beneficial to the treatment process as once the swelling has gone down hot and cold alternation can begin.

Heat therapy works to bring blood closer to the surface of the body, thereby reducing the recovery time for an injury and relaxing muscles which are in spasm.

Heat, such as the heat generated by a microwavable heating pad dilates the blood vessels around the injury, thereby increasing the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the area, working to reduce treatment times.

Once the initial swelling has reduced, alternating between the hot and cold compress can work to reduce inflammation while simultaneously relaxing muscles and reducing spasm.
