Heat vs Cold: What works better? (By UNC Health Appalachian, June 10, 2024)
Posted by TAMI FIERLE
Cold vs Heat Therapy:
Both heat and cold therapy have their benefits in treating pain, but their effectiveness depends on the type of injury or pain you’re experiencing.
Apply heat for muscle and soft tissue pain and tightness. Heat improves circulation and blood flow, can soothe discomfort and increase flexibility in a specific area due to increased temperature.
Apply cold for acute injuries, joints and bones to reduce swelling and inflammation. Cold reduces blood flow to a specific area which can reduce inflammation and swelling that causes pain and can relieve pain by reducing nerve activity.

What is inflammation? (by Cleveland Clinic 03/22/2024)
Posted by TAMI FIERLE
Acute inflammation may cause flushed skin, pain or tenderness, swelling and heat. Chronic inflammation can be harder to spot with a wide range of possible signs.
Inflammation is your body’s response to an illness, injury or something that doesn’t belong in your body (like germs or toxic chemicals). Inflammation is a normal and important process that allows your body to heal. Fever, for example, is how you know your body’s inflammatory system is working correctly when you’re ill. But inflammation can harm you if it occurs in healthy tissues or goes on for too long.
