Collection: Hot and Cold Therapy
What is Hot and Cold Therapy?
Hot and cold therapy is widely used to enhance circulation and alleviate pain and inflammation during physical therapy treatment sessions. Heat therapy, which can be administered as dry or moist heat, aids in boosting blood flow and loosening tight muscles. On the other hand, cold therapy is effective in reducing pain, bruising, swelling, and muscle spasms. These temperature-based treatments are particularly prevalent in physical therapy and sports medicine.
Types of Packs
Compression Garments
Simply pressing a cold compress to a sore area may not be enough to be therapeutic; greater pressure can expedite the healing process. ICE20 addresses this by combining compression pads with cold packs into a single garment, known as a compression wrap. These wraps are designed specifically for joints or larger body areas like the shoulder, knee, neck, or lower back, making ICE20 a specialist in targeted compression therapy.
Hot and Cold Packs
Hot and cold packs come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate all body contours. Chattanooga provides a range of moist hot packs and freezer packs, along with equipment to heat or cool them using in-office hydrocollators or chilling units. These packs can be applied directly to the patient's skin or wrapped in terry cloth covers for added protection.
Heating Units and Freezers
Heating units and freezers for hot and cold therapy packs are essential tools in the management of pain and inflammation. These devices ensure that therapy packs are maintained at the optimal temperatures for therapeutic use. Hot packs help to relax muscles, increase blood flow, and reduce joint stiffness, making them beneficial for individuals with conditions like arthritis, muscle spasms, and chronic pain. Cold packs, on the other hand, are used to reduce swelling, numb pain, and decrease inflammation, which is particularly useful after acute injuries such as sprains, strains, or post-surgical recovery.
