Apply cold and hot pack to painful areas for approximately 10-15 minutes.

You could also try to alternate the cold and hot pack for example:

-> Cold pack for 10 min followed by

->Hot pack for 10 minutes

->Then cold pack for 10 min and so on…by alternating hot and cold every 10 minutes

Did you know?

This creates the blood vessels to constrict (get smaller) with the cold pack and dilate (become enlarged) with the hot pack acting like a pump to get rid of metabolic wastes so “fresh” blood can enter to nourish the cells.
