Seeking a drug-free way to alleviate your pain? Consider the natural analgesics of ice and heat. But first, it’s essential to know when to use each. Here are Dr. Dan’s recommendations:
Heat Therapy
Heat is beneficial for relaxing tight muscles and improving blood flow. Dr. Dan may recommend heat for chronic conditions or stiffness. Applying a heating pad or warm compress can enhance the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments.
Ice Therapy
Ice is effective for reducing inflammation and numbing pain. Dr. Dan often suggests ice for acute injuries or swelling. Cold packs can be applied for short durations to the affected area to manage pain and promote healing.
