What Is Pain?
What is pain? The Oxford dictionary describes pain as an unpleasant physical sensation caused by illness or injury.
It’s the body’s alarm system to alert you that something is wrong, that there is actual or potential damage to the body.
Should I Be Using Heat or Ice for My Pain?
A very common question we often hear in our clinics is whether someone should be using heat or ice treatment to help manage pain.
The answer to that will always depend on the type of injury or pain, and how long it has been present for. It is very helpful to know which one to use, and it’s also important to understand what heat and ice do to your body when they are applied.
