| Should you cool or heat an injury? Cooling and heating are among the most commonly used treatments in orthopedics. So which one is the right one to use, cold or heat? And how long should the cold or heat treatments last? Read on for information about treatment of injuries with the VitalWrap System. Cold Treatment Cold treatment is most commonly used for acute injuries. If you have a recent injury (within the last 48 hours), where swelling is a problem, you should be using cold treatment. The VitalWrap System can help minimize swelling around the injury. The VitalWrap System is commonly used after injuries such as an ankle sprain. Applying the System early and often for the first 48 hours will help minimize swelling. Decreasing swelling around an injury will help to control the pain. Cold treatments may also be used for chronic conditions, such as overuse injuries in athletes. In this case, cool the injured area after activity. Never cool a chronic injury before activity. However, cooling after activity will help control the inflammatory response. Heat Treatment VitalWrap Heat treatments should be used for chronic conditions to help relax and loosen tissues, and to stimulate blood flow to the area. Use heat treatments on chronic conditions, such as overuse injuries, before participating in activities. Do not use heat treatments after activity, and do not use heat after an acute injury (see above). Heating tissues can be accomplished using the VitalWrap System. Cold or Heat Treatments? Use VitalWrap cold treatments after an acute injury, such as an ankle sprain, or after activities that irritate a chronic injury, such as shin splints. Use VitalWrap heat treatments before activities that irritate chronic injuries such as muscle strains. Heat can help loosen tissues and relax injured areas. How To Do It Read through the information on Applications. For How Long The VitalWrap System is very safe. Apply cold or heat treatments extended periods although 20 minutes is a typical therapy time. |
"As soon as I got this machine, I tried it right away on my right knee (arthroscopy surgery). It really gave me a great relief." "The VitalWrap is very comforting and relaxing! Cool machine!" "I am his wife and gave him this for his birthday! He has loved it, especially since he's a trap shooter and uses all those painful parts to shoot across the state, he can carry it with him. The only trick is that when he's shooting, the other guys are using it."
