Comprehensive Analysis of Worldwide Markets for Hot And Cold Therapy Packs

Ice will decrease the blood flow to the injury by decreasing inflammation and swelling. Pain can be treated with heat which will bring blood to the area and promote healing. Heat therapy opens up the blood vessels and increase blood flow by supplying oxygen and nutrients in order to relax the muscles, ligaments and tendons. Sources of heat can supply dry or moist warmth. Heat can be applied by electric or microwavable heating pad, gel packs, hot water bottle or hot water baths. Cold therapy slows down the blood supply to the injury section by reducing pain and swelling. There are many useful reactions taking place when cold therapy is applied such as slow blood circulation, reduction of inflammation, pain and muscle spasm. Cold therapy packs should be used if the area is swollen or bruised. Cold therapy can be taken in the form of ice or gel pack. Cold therapy packs should be used for 24 to 48 hours after injury.
