How do you choose between Cold or Heat to help with pain? If you are not in the office - where Doctor Horney can guide you - it may be hard to decide between Ice and Fire!
Some patients come into the office with severe pain and receive ice pack treatment. This is meant to reduce inflammation in the area of pain. Cold or cryo-therapy is a way to stop the cycle of extreme pain and allow the body to recuperate faster.
After the cryo-therapy has done its job, many patients still need pain relief and receive heat therapy. Moist heat therapy allows muscles to relax and be more acceptable to chiropractic adjustment and healing. Our moist heat pads are continuously heated in a temperature controlled hydroculator. This assures that the heat is effective yet will not be too hot. Always remember, though, that if you are feeling uncomfortable with either types of therapy, you can always shed the pads and drop them to the floor. Fifteen to twenty minutes is the ideal time for both therapies.
Have you experienced Biofreeze? This is the gel that Doctor Horney may rub on the painful areas of your body. It is a therapy that starts out cold to reduce inflammation and then within 5 minutes it turns to heat to relieve pain for hours. This is a wonderful product that can help you, whether you need to sleep peacefully or need to get through a stressful day.
We also provide a ice/heat pad that you can either put into your freezer or your microwave - depending on your needs. Maybe it can be used on a cold Spring Day to soothe your back with heat while you are enjoying a cup of tea and a nice movie. Sometimes it's just nice to treat yourself.
