Do you know? Severe joint pains and injury pains can be treated with hot and cold therapies. Usually, hot therapy is used since heat boosts blood and nutrients flow in your particular body area. On the other hand, cold therapy is used because coldness slows the blood flow and reduces swelling and pain. In most hot and cold therapy packs, heat is used to treat acute injuries and problems, while cold is used for muscle pain and stiffness. Let's learn about the hot and cold therapy ice packs in detail:
