3. Aircast Cold Therapy/Cyrotherapy Products

An injury causes accumulation of excess tissue fluid in the bruised area leading to swelling and inflammation. Ice treatment reduces blood flow to the injury cutting down inflammation and swelling. It also temporarily numbs the nerve activity in the area thereby reducing pain and brings down bleeding into the tissues.
If applied within 48 hours of an injury, cryotherapy or cold therapy is most effective. For best results, ice should be applied within 5-10 minutes of the injury for 20-30 minutes. This should be repeated every 2-3 hours for the next 1-2 days.
During recovery, if exercise has been advised then using a cold pack just before you start the routine will help numb the area and make you feel the pain less during the workout. You can even exercise with the ice pack on the injury.
