Cold Treatment for Back Pain Relief
A cold treatment is quick, free, easy to do, and it can provide significant
pain relief for many types of back pain. In a world of sophisticated medical
care, a simple ice or cold treatment can still be one of the more effective,
proven methods to treat a sore back or neck.
How Cold provides pain relief
Cold treatments are most effective if they are applied soon after the injury
occurs. The cold makes the veins in the tissue contract, reducing circulation.
Once the cold is removed, the veins overcompensate and dilate and blood rushes
into the area. The blood brings with it the necessary nutrients to allow the
injured tissues to heal.
Cold can help provide relief for back pain in a number of ways, including:
- cold pack application slows the inflammation and swelling that occurs
after injury. Most back pain is accompanied by some type of inflammation, and
addressing the inflammation helps reduce the pain.
- Numbs sore tissues (acts like a local anesthetic)
- Slows the nerve impulses in the area, which interrupts the pain-spasm
reaction between the nerves
- Decreases tissue damage
Our herbal packs can be stored
in a zip lock bag in the freezer, ready for instant use. A great substitue for
ice, they won't melt, drip and are much less likely to injure tissue than a
direct ice application.
As with all pain relief treatments, there are some cautions with cold
treatments. If you are using plain ice, never apply it directly to the skin.
Instead, be sure that there is a protective barrier between the ice and skin,
such as a towel. Additionally, cold treatments should also not be used for
patients who have rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud’s Syndrome, cold allergic
conditions, paralysis, or areas of impaired sensation.
