How Does Ice Wrap Help Lower Back Pain?

Back pain is debilitating in nature and can affect the overall wellbeing of an individual. Back pain can stem from muscle strain, whiplash injury, heavy lifting, or many other reasons. Cold therapy is a highly effective and proven method of treating a sore back, and cold therapy can be used in isolation or in combination with other treatment modalities.

To relieve back pain, a cold pack can be worn around the waist and lower back, and one can still maintain mobility. Cold therapy is effective if applied immediately following an injury to the back, typically within 24-48 hours. Cold packs provide back pain relief in several ways:

• Icing constricts the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the affected area that effectively reduces the swelling. 
• Application of a cold pack decreases the swelling and slows the inflammation after an injury, thus reducing the pain. 
• Cold therapy numbs the sore tissues and provides relief 
• Ice minimizes the damage to tissues.

Sealed Ice Polar Ice Back Wrap conforms to the body and allows faster return of normal function by reducing pain and controlling swelling.

Hip Ice Pack for Hip Replacement Recovery

The success of hip replacement surgery lies in proper post-surgery care. After surgery, swelling tends to occur, and that may cause increased pain and limited range of motion. It is essential to reduce the swelling for proper recovery.

• The application of a cold pack narrows the blood vessels around the hip joint and helps reduce swelling and pain. 
• Cold therapy decreases the temperature of the tissue and cell metabolism in the affected area, which will lower the amount of secondary damage to the tissue in that area. 
• Apply a cold pack on the area for 15-20 minutes and 3-4 times per day or as recommended by the physician. 
• Place a towel between the cold pack and the skin to prevent ice burn.

Buying Guide for Cold Packs for Back and Hip

Size

Look for an ice pack that will provide adequate coverage to the affected area to get pain relief.

Material

Make sure that the cold pack is made of high-quality, flexible, and pliable material to fit the body's contour. A stiff ice pack will not serve the purpose. Additionally, the seams should be stitched properly to avoid any mishap.

Reusability

Reusable gel packs can be used multiple times for many years.

Long-lasting

Buy an ice pack that will stay cold for a longer period to get the desired result. Normally, 15-20 minutes of icing at one time is good enough.

Comfortability

Ensure that the cold pack is soft and comfortable and will not burn or stick to the skin.

Durability

Durability is the key when buying an ice pack. Look for a good quality durable ice pack that will last for a long time.
