Keep Arthritic Pain Away With Hot And Cold Therapy

Instead of suffering from intense agony in silence, why not give hot and cold therapy a try? Perhaps you have heard about the treatment from your friends. May be you had tried it once a few years ago. You are probably wondering:  is it worth it?

According to doctors: it really is. Hot and cold therapy can be used to subdue inflammation and soften the pain and stiffness. It may take a while to learn which therapy works better for you. But if you stick to the regimen, the benefits you shall reap are enormous. Such a therapy makes it easier to manage arthritis and live a tolerably normal life.

The therapy works by stimulating the body’s own healing system. The heat dilates the blood vessels which in turn increases blood circulation. This reduces muscle spasm. The warmth of the hot pad also reduces the sensation of pain.

At what temperature should you use heat therapy?

Make sure that the pack is not hot enough to hurt your skin. Adjust the temperature to find out your comfort range. Try out different heat delivery techniques like hot baths, hot water bottles or spa therapy. Keep in mind that such a therapy needs your time and patience.

Types of Heat therapy 

• Disposable heat patches or belts
• Heated swimming pool
• Hot packs
• Moist heating pad
• Warm bath
• Warm bathtub
• Warm and moist towel 

Cold therapy

Cold packs numb the affected area and help to reduce inflammation and swelling. Ice packs are especially good for arthritic joints. The cooling decreases muscle spasm and increases the threshold of pain.  

How often can it be used?

You can safely use hot or cold packs twice a day for relief from pain. According to the American

College of Rheumatology, ten minutes of cold therapy can provide significant reduction in pain experience. The same goes for hot packs.
