Going hot and cold?
Hot and cold therapy has seen
a real rise in popularity in recent times and
with the effective results offered in a non invasive
and easy to administer way, it's not hard to see
why.
Cold Therapy
Cold therapy has been used for many, many years
and although the most basic form of cold therapy
is through using ice or frozen vegetables; wraps,
cool packs and cold bandages are the more modern
alternatives with the added benefit of offering
compression with the application of cold.
Cold compression helps to constrict
the blood vessels helping to decrease the flow
of fluids to the tissues and therefore reducing
inflammation. The application of cold also slows
the release of chemicals that cause pain and inflammation
and decreases the feeling in the area by reducing
the sensitivity of the nerve endings.
Cold therapy should be employed
as soon as possible after an injury to get the
best results. It can also be used as a way to
prevent injuries if it is applied after strenuous
exercise…this is particularly relevant for horses
that put their limbs under great strain when working.
As for injuries, conditions such as bumps, bruises,
strains and sprains are ideal for treatment with
cold therapy.
Heat Therapy
Heat treatment is another age old remedy and,
like cold therapy, produces amazing results. When
heat is applied to an area, the warmth dilates
the blood vessels; this then increases the amount
of blood and therefore oxygen that comes into
that area. It also helps to soothe and relax muscles
and ligaments.
Heat is often applied in the
healing stages of an injury. It can also be used
on stiff and tight muscles to relax them and prevent
problems. Heat therapy should be used on recommendation
of a vet.
