Misc. Chiropractic Trivia Part 1

As a chiropractor, I am asked a lot of the same questions. I assume that the general public may need a bit of help on some health issues?

Question 1: Should I use hot or cold packs on my body?

Answer: New injuries i.e. sprained ankle, etc. should be treated with ice for 20 minutes every 2-3 hours. Overall if your body feels tight, heat can be used for 20-30 minutes as needed. If you are in pain and have inflammation, ice the area 20 minutes every 2-3 hours.

If in doubt, always consult a professional in the health field.
