Ice constricts blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the area, which can help decrease inflammation and numb the area to reduce pain. Common uses include sprains, strains, bruises, tendonitis, acute joint pain, and post-surgical recovery.

Heat increases blood flow and relaxes muscles, which can help improve flexibility, promote healing, and relieve muscle tension. Common uses include chronic muscle or joint pain, arthritis, stiffness, and muscle soreness from overuse.

Consultation: If you’re unsure about which therapy to use or if you have a medical condition, consult with your chiropractor for personalized guidance and recommendations.
