Cold/Ice therapy is one of the more basic yet extremely effective chiropractic treatments. This form of chiropractic care may be a good choice for those looking to mitigate back pain.
What is Cold/Ice Therapy?
During cold/ice therapy, cold-packed ice is strategically placed atop any pain-affected regions of the patient’s back. This form of chiropractic therapy is most effective when used within three days of experiencing acute back pain. Cold/Ice is also beneficial in treating some patients who suffer from chronic back pain.
When considering this type of treatment it’s important to let Dr. Merckling know if you suffer from poor circulation or have experienced any other issues pertaining to cold temperatures.
