When to Use Heat on An Injury

Sports injuries always happen. How to relieve the hurt caused by exercise or everyday activities? Ice or heat? Actually, both hot and cold pack therapy can be used in sports injuries. But how to decide to choose a cold pad or a heating pad for injury?

If it’s an acute injury or new injury, such as a sprain on the ankle, you may damage blood vessels, when blood vessels are damaged, swelling usually occurs. Then cold therapy is the correct choice. The ice or something cold like that causes the blood vessels to constrict, reducing the swelling.

“Heat therapy does the opposite of what cold therapy does. Unlike cold therapy’s ability to constrict blood vessels, heat allows for our blood vessels to expand and our muscles to relax. Applying heat creates a soothing effect,” says a physical therapist.

Then when can use heat therapy for sports injuries? From a sports injury perspective, after two or three weeks of acute pain, if you still felt pain, it indicates that the body has not fully healed, and pain reoccurs frequently. In such a situation, using a far infrared heating pad will help regenerate their cells faster, it helps them to get back on their feet quicker. This soothing effect occurs because heat causes the blood vessels to open wide (dilate). This brings more blood into the area to increase tissue elasticity and stimulate the healing of damaged tissues. It can also ease stiffness by making the tissues more supple, providing pain relief.
