Description

Cold/hot pack is an excellent option in the management of acute and chronic pain. Placed in a freezer for about an hour, it is used in acute injuries to reduce inflammation through the process of vasoconstriction, at the same time numbing the target area as a pain management process. Heated in a microwave, it is used in chronic pain management through the process of vasodilation which triggers the inflow of blood into the target area, washing away pain factors and metabolic byproducts.
