Using an ice pack on a sports injury is a common practice, but many people make mistakes when using ice on a sports injury. It turns out that tossing an ice pack on an injury and hoping for the best may not be the ideal injury treatment option.The Most Common Mistakes When Using an Ice Pack Ice Pack Application on Unprotected Skin: When you’ve got a burn, scrape, blemish, or severe pain, you want the healing relief of a cold compress straight away. However, slapping an ice pack on unprotected skin can actually lead to further damage if you aren’t careful such as frostbite.
Injuries are common. Between 2011 and 2014, people in the U.S. reported an average of 8.6 million episodes of injury related to sports and recreation. Luckily, not all were serious.Not everyone can use an ice pack safely.
Ice packs may cause or complicate other health conditions. Don’t apply an ice pack on an area where you have numbness or decreased sensation. This may indicate another problem, such as a pinched nerve; using ice could mask the problem and prevent you from seeking treatment.How are sports injuries treated? Doctors first treat sports injuries with R-I-C-E (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation).
Rest. Decrease your regular activities and rest the injured area. Ice.
Put an ice pack on the injury for 20 minutes, four to eight times per day. You can use a: Cold pack. Ice bag.Watch the clock.
Ice for 15-20 minutes, 2 but never longer. You can cause further damage to the tissues, including frostbite, by icing for too long. As mentioned earlier, performing an ice massage can be a safe and effective way to ensure skin and soft tissues are less likely to be damaged.Ask your healthcare provider when you can return to sports. Apply ice on your head for 15 to 20 minutes every hour or as directed.
Use an ice pack, or put crushed ice in a plastic bag. Cover it with a towel before you apply it to your skin. Ice helps prevent tissue damage and.
Running injuries usually happen when you push yourself too hard. The way your body moves also plays a role. You can prevent many of them.
Here’s how. 1. Runner’s knee. This is a common overuse injury.Overuse, overexertion, and incorrect technique. Overuse is caused by repetitive motion and is common in sports that require repeated movements, like tennis and pitching.
Overexertion is pushing the body beyond one’s physical ability. Lastly, using an incorrect technique usually goes.Never treat with ice for more than 30 minutes, and remove the pack immediately if the injury appears bright pink or red. Don’t use ice packs on the left shoulder if you have a heart condition, and don’t use ice packs around the front or side of the neck.
Ice is a tried-and-true tool for reducing pain and swelling. Apply an ice pack (covered with a light, absorbent towel to help prevent frostbite ) for 15-20 minutes every two to three hours during.Sports injuries happen. When they do and the injury is bleeding, the quicker the blood is stopped the less likely you or others will be exposed to potential infection.
If you train without the benefit of a training partner, have first aid supplies on hand to stop the bleeding until you locate others who can help in.Another benedit of cold therapy is reduced muscle spasm. This is often a response to pain as muscles surrounding the injury contract to protect it.
This is known as muscle guarding and it aims to prevent further damage. Because ice has a pain killing effect, the muscle relaxes as a result of decreased pain.Never place ice directly on the skin. Always use a cloth barrier like a thin bath towel. Keep the ice pack moving to avoid frostbite.
Never keep it in one place for more than a couple of minutes. Never ice an injury for more than 15 to 20 minutes. It is better to ice an injury several times a day than all at once.Homemade Ice Packs. Ice cubes in a sealed baggie.
A wet towel placed in the freezer for 15 minutes. A bag of frozen vegetables. DIY ice packs with dish soap and rubbing alcohol.
Heat Therapy. Heat can be used for chronic pain or injuries that are no longer swollen. If you use heat on a swollen area, it can increase inflammation.

A thin towel is bad wrap for an ice pack. It will quickly condense moisture which will freeze, negating the protection. What I found that works better is a terry washcloth or face towel covered with a ziplock plastic bag. The combination keeps out moisture and the nap of the terry allows air to do the heat exchange. ut.
The secondary benefit of initially using cooling is that it numbs the area.
watched the whole video, didnt learn anything, cant take my eyes off that psychedelic shirt
I would use ice pack first 48hrs after injury. Then the next 48hrs I would alternate. Once I feel the inflammation has gone down i would use heat pack only
I love your videos. As a physiotherapist living in Quebec, Canada, I watch your videos every day. They give me some new ideas that help in my daily practice. They are a great source on inspiration for health professionnals and also for the public in general. Continue your excellenty work.
it absolutely reduces it.. what is he talking about. There is plenty of evidence that shows it reduces the flow of fluid into the injury and by slowing that down by definition it’s reducing and slowing inflammation.
Can you make a video about whole body cryothereapy? I know is popular with some athletes. Does it really help reduce swelling after a work out or any kind of swelling? Great videos by the way. Thanks.
It’s been 2 weeks now since I fell from bike and injured my left leg while balancing.
Injury is backside of knee (knee is fine) till middle of calf. Feels pain near left bone of calf area, if presses.
I can walk now but can’t fold legs and sit in sqat position.
Which pack can heal faster at this stage?
Can I start light stretching exercise?
Infrared directly behind the back.. is it safe? From what i learnt pt need atleast some distance for the infrared to penetrate effectively to the muscles, joint etc..may i ask for your justification?
I was starting to trust this guy but at the end he said, ask them what do they prefer
ExCusE mE wHat tHe f**K
Thank you for this! I have ruptured discs and am so confused on how to go about relieving pain. It’s so sharp and painful it takes my breath away. So I’ve learned…wait about 3-4 days before using heat?
This is great info thanks. I’ve been dealing with pain in my lower back from scoliosis and scataica. It’s also been going down my right leg. I was using a heat pad at night but my back would be throbbing. I’m going try a ice pack. I’ve been using biofreeze during the day some. Lately it’s been making me burn and turning red on my skin and itching,
Can you do a video about accessory navicular bone? I’m struggling so much as I was recently diagnosed but I do not want surgery!!!
I was told ice does not reduce inflammation and there is no actual evidence it does.. all it does is make you think thats what it’s doing by numbing your skin and that also inflammation is good, why would you want to reduce it to begin with,thats your body healing the area. That it’s a myth this idea that your body goes too far with inflammation doesn’t seem to make sense to me. Our bodies are generally pretty damn good at healing quickly
Really very good information about the Therapy.. Thank you so much…
I guess! Ice packs will release excess heat that is causing pain in the jointed area or flat areas of body where heat is trapped due to our over activities of body.
& Heat packs for releasing cold if one is feeling shivering or some kind of cold, cough.
I used hot and cold showers yesterday and I dance, my sciatica has decreased since then, but I feel it is most the dance I think..I practice ballet and Tahitian Dance..Kisses from Peru!!!
Thanks so much for the video it help.. so much I was in pain so much for using heat I remember the 2nd day I took a shower in the morning with hot water and it made it worse I felt a pain!!!
Interesting I was brought to use a hot and cold compress
2mins of hot 1min of cold my understanding is this sudden change in temperature encourages the blood to circulate and therefore speed up healing yet so many people especially athletes use ice packs which one would assume would close down the blood supply. Whats really odd is hot and cold actually works but I dont know many people that do it.but thank you for sharing this info tho I’m still a bit confused I guess-after running i have ligaments injury in my knee from one week please suggest me what i need to do i feel very pain in my knee
Im in the healing process of a quad strain, the acute phase is passed but i found ice better, it is a problem to continue use it even after the acute phase? Thanks!
Can you do more episodes on biodiversity? I loved that key stone species episode! Maybe ocean keystone species? Or plants?
I pulled my lower back 3 weeks ago while picking up something. I didn’t ice at all. The pain if still there. Should I ice it now?
All I needed to hear. I usually don’t put ice on sprains or strains. I like heat. If my body wants heat then heat it is
Would like to see a video about your thoughts on becoming PT today. I’ve been thinking about it but am not sure the loans of DPT school outweigh the modest salary that most PTs make starting their careers. Thanks guys!
Totally missed the mark on what injuries or when to use heat etc
I love my Thermotex!!! It is so much better than any other heating pad I have used.
My ankle is swollen after an injury during a soccer game what do I do
Thanks I will not use tm heat on my body again I’ve been taking cold showers and feel so much better
What abt knee swelling but without any injury. Should i use cold or hot pack?
I fell on my ass on a skateboard then I decided to watch this video
Extracting honey from bee hive is it good or bad for bee’s offspring’s?
I was told that the real benefit of icing is when the ice is removed and the blood flows back the injured area..thus carrying off inflammation. Is that for real?
Quick question can you use icy hot patches on sprained ankle?
Hi I pulled my back yesterday and applied heat which I know now to be wrong as it did feel worst, I had a pillow between my legs last night to see if that would help and I woke up really stiff this morning, I have now put ice on it for 20 mins and that has released some of the pain should I take ibuprofen to? I plan to ice again in an hour
heat or cold pack for leg and/or foot cramps during the night? how to keep them in place when you are in bed?
I guess the first thing I do when I get an injury is consult this or other YouTube channels! Currently icing a lip hickey which I didn’t know I could even mf get
I’m in winter now with sciatica and I can’t do ice it’s too freezing so I didn’t do anything, 4 days later either have a warm shower in the evening or use a hot water bottle. I feel more comfy and soothed with a hwb. started walking today and it was feeling better so tomorrow I’ll walk morning and afternoon and do the stretching before I have breakfast and before bed. For cold I use a clean tea towel. I’ll try the compression strap next time.

You guys are great. Thank you for all this free information a true service to humanity.
I sprained my lower back today while lifting weights. I came back to my room and put a heat pad on it and sleep for 2 hours. I just came to watch this video and realized I did everything I DIDN´T HAVE TO DO. No wonder I had more pain lol. Thanks for the video! Will definitely be applying ice for 20 minutes. I will let you know how that goes.
What about heat for chronic inflammatory diseases like RA? Conventional wisdom says it’s a bad thing.
Probably gonna be a tough sell getting surgical patients around the U.S. to stop using any cryotherapy.
Why some docs say… that we shouldn’t ice an acute injury.., coz icing stops the blood flow to the area n therefore the healing.
What are ur thoughts on it??
If its so controversial, then these guys don’t for sure. Sorry dudes.
So why does the body tend to overreact? Like I understand allergies and stuff but why here? It‘s different
I couldn’t move my hips have arthritis so as soon i wake up i take super hot shower to help me.
Now using heat therapy i use utk heat pad over night to help me. It works
Yes, usually apply cold and let stretching, moving or exercise be the heat producer.
This proving the complete scientific accuracy of the movie Universal Soldier.:)
I was just trying to explain to someone why ice helps but when they asked me why stopping the immune response is good, I couldn’t figure it out. Thanks for answering this!
It’s been 1 year and 2 months since I injured myself it doesn’t hurt so much I can walk but not so much my point is I am in the middle.
What procedure should I go with
1. Should I use ice
2. Or ice + hot water
3. Or only hot water
Be aware that cooling inhibits blood clotting, so if you have a bleed or bruising, a cold pack can actually make that worse.
Please, please, please WORK on your volume. Can barely hear at max volume on all devices. You’re too good to miss! Thank you
The rule of thumb I have always heard, and personally use, is put ice on an injury until the injury looks like it has reached its maximum level of tissue damage: worst swelling, most discoloration, in the case of a joint, most stiffness. In a few days when these things start to improve, heat can increase blood flow and thereby encourage healing.
So lets say i started with heart…. how much days after should I use Ice?
I liked the video…glad to help keep you guys mentally healthy!
Please explain frequent popping sounds that occur I think through joints ( I explained this to my doctor who said it was nothing)
Thank you for sharing! The information and direction provided gives me much needed direction in dealing with my joint and muscle pain.
OK, when you sprain a joint it swells up. That seems like it’s the body’s way of immobilizing the joint. Yet they say to put cold on it to take away the swelling. Seems like you’re fighting against what the body wants to do. It seems like taking the swelling away would encourage you to use the joint again, which your body is trying to stop you from doing. Why use cold?
Great advice!! Love your videos! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience. Appreciate it!
Thanks for this video even though it is fairly old. Have a screwed up MCL and have been icing it after a month now when it would appear that I should have been using heat after the first few days. Correct????
When doing the contrast therapy how much time do you wait between using the heating pad and then using the icepack? Also how many times a day?
Where on spine is it safe to use ice ❓❓please answer soon ‼️
I love these guys’ videos, but this one was just confusing…. I’m still trying to figure out whether to use heat or cold one month into healing my heal bursitis.
Frozen pees in a Ziploc bag with eg. pillowcase works great conforms to shape of body. Reusable too.
I’m leaving it here and hope you could share yoir thoughts on the arguments not to use ice https://youtu.be/yZEua2_78Ew
Mam plzzz help me i have sever pain under knee i cannot even lunge like i feel it is going to be broken help me i am 15
You guys are level headed and always have seperate, yet aggreable point of views. Remarkable videos!
Thank you I had bad pain in neck I put 2 towels in freezer and alternating it was good
A good idea in my opinion is to work on your clients and have them on your videos so that we can see like a before and after I guess. Even though I know not every injury is the same.
I started kickboxing and hit my foot real bad now its bruised so bad that i cant walk
Just remember this:
Dont
Ice
Your body’s natural immediate response is heat.
Ice can kill the pain. And the healing process.
Be careful using a heating pad too often on too high of heat. You may get what’s commonly known as “toasted skin syndrome.” Basically you get reddish brown splotches all over your skin. I know from personal experience lol. With chronic back pain, I’m married to my heating pad. I wonder if the infrared heating pad would cause this as well?
Thanks for the informative video!
Why do you say that it is insanity to try to do anything to the swelling and that the body responds appropriately, but then say that compression and elevation helps?
What about carpal tunnel syndrome? I’ve been battling it for 4 years I’m trying to stretch and ice and heat plus electro therapy and acupuncture once a week now should i still be icing it is one of the few things that really relieves the pain
What would you tell a person who has an injury but also has arthritis (that is aggravated by cold)?
6:20 I thought cold packs should never be used for lower back pains
Hmm, I agree mainly on all but that pack being put under entire surface of lower back at around 6:00/01. I would always fold it so it covers mainly spine (bone part) as such and much less muscle area. After being folded it is approx my hand and half in width. And btw, when wrapping ice to ankle or so do not forget it there, I did once and had partially frozen skin and maybe even meat and later big and painful blister for 2 and more weeks if I remember correctly.:-) It was worse then heat burn.
God bless ya. You guys ever wonder why we get injured why this body is so strong but yet so weak. Is just so frustrating I was getting stronger n recently I hurt my rotator cuff been looking n doing the exercises on your videos. Thank you so much. Peace n grace
Newly introduced to you guys. Really appreciate all the info you’re sharing across the immense amount of videos you’ve done. Love the daily goal (I can relate because I did 2000 videos on my first channel). Just subscribed!
Thanks guys. Very informative and useful. Quick?: What is “cool laser” treatment?
Are you supposed to lie down when applying heat? I have one of those heating belts that you can stand/sit or walk around in. I was told by my massage therapist that heat is good for bulging & herniated disk, but when I apply heat it hurts MORE after 10 minutes not less.
So you’re saying putting pressure on my crushed finger with a couple tightly wrapped band aides before returning to work might not have been the best option?!
What about popping your back and neck when you wake up or before working out? Is it bad or does it do damage?
Question? Why using ice for a injured ankle and lift up? Is it not the bodies natural reaction to heal the injury? Why slowing of the circulation by cooling down the area when the body wants to heal it?
Thanks for taking time to explain
Julian
I was thinking about getting a standing desk, i do alot of drawing and graphic design. Are standing desks better for back pain and posture?
I love using blue dawn in plastic freezer bag. Gets really cold and stays flexible. Recyclable too.
Make sure you use good bags though. Not a disaster, but sometimes they leak.
Cold is simply the absence of heat it’s not a thing that can penetrate.
I have gluteus medius muscle pain then how I can treat this pain.
Icing my back worked great when it went out on me a few times…typical L5 S1 area that a lot of adults see problems with. I have used moist heat when the muscles spasm, and that helps for me. Great video as always, guys!
scishow plz answer: how water travels inside our body. I mean if I drink water does it travels the same like food? if so why I urinate?
Cryotherapy sounds much cooler than it actually is. No pun intended.
Like when someone has an allergic reaction and kills the person due to an anaphylactic shock. Why do people think we have to stop that! It’s insane!
If he is trying to make a point at least he should try to explain scientifically why doing that is so wrong.
The immune system is known for overreacting very often. Too high of a fever can kill you. And after an injury you may have too much swelling and too much swelling creates more damage. So it is not far-fetched to say ice can help.
I agree as far as soft tissue injuries go, but I have had a great deal of success using ice for nerve inflammation especially for nerve root issues.
I’ve had a lot of surgeries and reconstructive spine surgery and Ice was the only thing that made me feel better the heat generated more pain for me that’s how it is
What about if you’re not dealing with an injury but just have pain because of spinal stenosis and arthritis? Heat??
Good information just like visiting the PT office. These two gentlemen even better than most of the PTs I have been to.
I am literally doing an ice pack many times a day for a badly sprained ankle from the last week.
What do you think of an ice water bath to bring down overall body inflammation/pain or soaking an effected area in ice water. Seems like the cold would penetrate better that way. Might be really uncomfortable, but if you only stay in the water for a short time, it would be safe. I’m just inspired by the idea of winter bathing where folks of all ages take a quick dip in icy sea water each day. Some people swear by the health benefits. What are your thoughts?
What if there is no injury.there is pain in the hip because of prolonged sitting.
wait if blood vessels and tissues contract, doesn’t that give fluids more room to fill and make you swell more?
What about using infrared heat followed by cold? Or would you do ice and follow an hour later with infrared? Or not mix?
Why we have lines on our hands.please make a on this sci show
I wonder what would happen if all heat disappeared for one milasecond then reappeared in the exact same place would everything just die immediately?
“…why a paper cut hurts so dang much”
Even just mentioning it. Even just that on its own. That’s enough for me to get half a mental breakdown. No. Just no.
Research has shown that icing injuries actually prolongs healing. Even the creator of the RICE protocol Dr. Mirkin has said that icing provides no benefit. In fact, it appears that nothing in RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is beneficial. http://www.drmirkin.com/fitness/why-ice-delays-recovery.html
The RICE method is easy to remember when I get an injury-R-restI-iceC-compressionE-elevate
Very informative. Exactly what I was looking for. I subbed instantly
SCISHOW!!! Do a video on why jumping into cold water “takes your breathe away” why it suddenly feels like you have no air in your lungs? Anyone ever jump into cold water and all the air in your lungs gets taken away??
Cool video thank you!!
So is it really worth icing to speed up the process of the recovery or is it just meant to dull the pain while applying it?
So, here we have it. Evidence is now getting through that the reason you’re get swelling is because it is what you body does it does it to allow the good things to get in to the area and to flush out the rubbish. So, now, it’s becoming accepted the argument goes that it’s the body over reacting. Now, think about that for a second. Either way what we are supposed to believe, is that the body is harming you. The question is: Is it harming you by causing swelling or is it harming you by over reacting? This is just plain daft.
Thank you for sharing this. I have had this question in mind for so long while treating muscle injury and this video helps in understanding when to use.
I’m confused…. so why does everything seem to hurt so much more when it’s cold outside?!
Ive been injured today 2 times my right and left arm it hurts me alot im scared becuz i think im going to have bone cancer its that right? Im scared!! I injured my self today twice morning and afternoon what should i do??
Dr. Osaoji on youtube is truly a life saver, finally free from herpes
“Agh, I twisted my ankle.”
“Better start on the Cryotherapy.”
Hurt spots also feel hot and we are naturally inclined to put something cold there. If this really helps, then it appears the body knows that it overshoots every time and telling us to get ice is just an easier fix than evolving an automatic countermeasure.
pls adjust urs mikes accordingly….voices are not audible…they are very low
“Probably one of the first things you do when you bang your niece” That is a whole other episode.
Thank you for this video. Now, I know i was doing it the wrong way.
So.. I took a WHOLE semesters course on this in college. This is a VERY small part of the answer
What about after an intense muscle workout at the gym? Not necessarily injury just general muscle soreness from your workout
If infrared heating pads penetrate so deeply, it seems like using them anywhere on your torso would be a really bad idea considering that they would heat your organs. Please address this concern in a reply to me and another video.
This is so frickin helpful. I needed this video when I injured my wrist and shoulder playing tennis.
Through all the injuries I’ve had in my 42 years of life, I’ve only had any inappropriate swelling from a staph infection caused by a wasp stinger breaking off in my wrist. (Yes, wasp, not bee. It got wedged and snapped.)
Speaking of ice packs; I am looking for good quality (durable) ice pack velcro headband style, one i can walk around with and not hold it on my head……ice packs only thing that really works when i have headaches. The one i can find on amazon, breaks easily and the bluefelt strip that is on one side falls off after a few uses.
I lost my eyesight attempting to watch that video. But I could listen to the rest of it and found it very informative regarding giving icing a 10 minute break before continuing. Very good info.
SciShow, why does your old video on obesity have a reference link to a “buy Instagram likes” page?
I’m pretty sure it stimulates the nerves and calms the flow of energy to heal the damage.
You can’t be serious
I do using and fall asleep for hours so I won’t feel the ridiculous coldness
FOR HOURS!
Me with my head bleeding and refusing to take of the ice for like 30 minutes
I would hypothesize that reason for this “over-reaction” is due in no small part to the rapid development of human civilization. When a caveman got sick or injured, their body’s natural immune response would likely be the only thing keeping them alive. They didn’t have things like hospitals or automobiles or climate controlled shelters that we have, so it was worth the added burden of enduring the body’s immune response if it meant keeping that caveman alive long enough to procreate. Today, however, because we have all of these amenities and conveniences, the burden of our body’s immune response can be a largely unnecessary process that our bodies go through in spite of all that.
I have a good idea for a video. How do you deal with soreness after a workout? What are some things you can do to recover faster?
dear I found this study
Cryotherapy Reduces Inflammatory Response Without Altering Muscle Regeneration Process and Extracellular Matrix Remodeling of Rat Muscle
Gracielle Vieira Ramos,1 Clara Maria Pinheiro,2 Sabrina Peviani Messa,2 Gabriel Borges Delfino,2Rita de Cássia Marqueti,1 Tania de Fátima Salvini,2 and Joao Luiz Quagliotti Durigana,1
Author information Article notes Copyright and License information Disclaimer
Conclusion
In summary, clinical-like cryotherapy reduced the inflammatory processes thought to decrease macrophage infiltration and the accumulation of TNF-α, NF-κB, TGF-β and MMP-9 mRNA levels. However, cryotherapy did not change injury area, desmin expression or Collagen I and III protein levels. Our study confirmed the initial hypothesis that cryotherapy could have a beneficial effect on inflammatory process, without affecting the regeneration process after TA injury.
i have supraspinatus partial tear since 5 year and when i do exercise there is pain on my shoulder. can it be healed by ice or heat therapy. what should i do to recover.
Liked Video but you did not say how long you should keep ice on a lower back for sciatica pain. Ice feels good but I know I can not keep it long for a long time. (HOW LONG)?
I over stretched my hamstring 3 day ago pain is moderate which therapy is works for me
who keep this answers coming or who keep this questions coming?:)
hey Hank, what about your Youtube patrons, are we helping these episodes coming too?
Why do you do your clips with your shoes on. Carrying germs from rest rooms, roads etc on your examination table. We love your clips without your shoes on. Great info clips thanks DRs
Icing your feet/ankles/any other part of your legs after a run helps the muscles repair themselves quicker after a run. No longer than 20 mins at a time in one spot. I usually alternate between feet and ankles. Your ankles get more force from running than even your feet.
Hi I was diagnosed with bulging disc C6/7 pinching nerve 6 weeks ago. Getting better but sitting upright ie dining chair, driving still quite painful all down to finger tips. I did cycle regularly but can’t cycle at all at the moment.
By now should I be just HEATING or both?
By the way love the videos am doing the stretches and posture exercises they are helping
Did Hank get married? This is the first video I noticed him with a wedding band.
1:09 Sweet! So if I put my joints to the fridge, ill save a bunch of kush.
Fell once and bashed my mouth into the ground. Man was I grateful for ice that week… No Kylie Jenner lips gone wrong for me, thank you!
If we do stuff thats dangerous or are about to, why does our body “let us do it”
@scishow can you make a video on how vinegar can also help reduce swelling?
Are we sure this info cannot fit into a 5 min video? I’m pretty sure it would cost everyone less money, them and us.
And why is one of the top voted comments saying Don’t Ice?
That is not what they said at all. Not even close.
When you put ice on a part of your body thats inflamed
it melts.
