Cold therapy has been traditionally used to heal muscle and bone injuries using ice packs or frozen pea bags. Now, the same can be delivered using cold therapy machines.About Cold TherapyCold therapy is application of freezing temperatures over injuries to heal them. Cold temperature decreases the impulses from the nerve endings, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation. The process entails healing of the wounds due to injuries or surgeries. Cold therapy can reduce bleeding, pain, and swelling that can result from orthopedic surgeries.It is useful for speeding up recovery after shoulder surgeries, knee surgeries, back surgeries, sports injuries, and muscle soreness after intense workout sessions. It can also be used to speed up recovery after plastic surgeries and to reduce muscle/tissue pain after a hard day’s work.Use of cold therapy can reduce a patient’s dependency on medicines to manage pain. It can also reduce the rehabilitation time for the patients recovering from injuries or surgeries. Fortunately, you can now use cold therapy machines instead of grappling with messy packs of ice.Using Cold Therapy MachinesA cold therapy machine is a device that helps to deliver freezing temperatures over the injuries in an efficient manner. It consists of a tank with a pumping mechanism to circulate water through a system of tubes. Not all cold therapy machines are designed in the same way of course. For instance, IsoComforter cold therapy machines have been designed using the patented Iso Tube technology for maximum healing impact. It consists of a healing pad that contains ridges to deliver the cold temperature safely without risk of burn injuries. The self-priming pump has been designed to deliver cold therapy in the most convenient manner to the patients.Cold therapy machines are easy to use on the back, shoulders, and the knees. You can simply fill the tank with water and ice, wrap the healing pad on the injury site, and plug in the device. You can use cold therapy via machines such as those from IsoComforter for hours on end without worrying about replenishing the ice. You can then relax and benefit from uninterrupted cold therapy.Use of cold therapy machines is convenient, which enables the patients to continue with their recovery program for as long as needed. Dripping ice bags not only are cumbersome to use but also pose an infection risk. Water on wounds can cause infections and post-surgical complications. When you use a technologically-advanced cold therapy machine such as the one from IsoComforter, you do not need to worry about condensation on the injuries or the surgical site. The temperature is easier is to bear due to the well-designed healing pad.You can use cold therapy at home along with your usual rehabilitation program. Using a cold therapy machine for cold therapy is easy and you can use it without any expert supervision. Cold therapy works best when it is used on the injury site until the recovery is complete.
