Ice and cold therapy

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• Is cold likely to help the kind of pain I have, or would heat or something else help more?
• How long and how often would you suggest using cold, and for how many days?
• Do any of my health conditions, such as diabetes, poor circulation or numbness, make cold riskier for me?
• Is it OK to use cold after an injection or procedure?
• What can I do to stay active while my back or neck recovers?
• What signs mean I should stop using cold or call you?
