Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use cold versus heat?
Use cold therapy for acute injuries during the first 48 to 72 hours - sprains, strains, bumps, and swelling. Cold reduces inflammation and numbs pain. Use heat therapy for chronic conditions - muscle stiffness, back pain, neck tension, and menstrual cramps. Heat relaxes muscles and increases blood flow. Never apply heat to an acute injury as it can increase swelling.
How long do I heat the pack in a microwave?
Follow the manufacturer's heating instructions printed on the pack. Typically, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes on medium power, checking temperature frequently. The pack should feel comfortably warm but not hot enough to burn. Always wrap in a cloth before skin contact and test temperature on the back of your hand before applying to the injury site.
