Treat Your Injuries and Sprains Faster with Cold Compression Therapy

Figuring out the best way to manage post-operative pain? One of the easiest and most effective ways to help patients reduce pain and heal faster is by using cold compression therapy. 

How Cold Compression Therapy Works

Cold therapy works by constricting the blood vessels that ultimately help reduce swelling and inflammation. Besides, it can even reduce the bruise size by slowing down blood flow to an injured area. Blood flow and swelling also get visibly reduced.

Together, cold and compression can help reduce the temperature and swelling in the affected area, which helps reduce pain and improve recovery time.

How to Use Cold Compression Therapy

If one has undergone any surgery, then one of the most popular ways to reduce swelling and pain following surgery is to rest, ice, compress, and elevate. But many times, a homemade ice pack might not be an effective icing method.

In case, a patient has undergone surgery in hard-to-reach and recover spots like an ankle, knee, shoulder, hip, or even back, icing using normal methods at home can be somewhat challenging. There is a possibility that an ice pack might slip off from the affected area. In such a situation, cooling wraps and cuff gravity cooler adhere to the stabilizing wrap to help a patient keep cold compression on the area for hours without any discomfort. This will further help reduce the pain.
