- Cold therapy constricts capillaries at the site of application, reducing local tissue metabolism.
- Pain and chemical mediators of inflammation are minimized when cold is applied immediately after injury or surgery.
- Cold therapy is used on acute injuries.
- The effects of cold therapy are:
Lowered cell metabolic rate.
Vasoconstriction.
Lowered inflammatory response.
Lowered nerve conduction velocity.
Lowered muscle contractility.
Raised pain threshold.
Lowered collagen tissue extensibility.
- Heat plays a vital role in the rehabilitation of chronic injuries because of its effects on circulation, metabolism, and nerves.
- Chronic injuries, such as arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, and adhesive capsulitis, can be treated with heat.
- The effects of heat include:
Increases in cellular metabolism.
Increases in muscle spindle activity.
Increases in muscle contractility.
Increases in inflammatory response.
Increases in collagen extensibility.
Increases in nerve conduction velocity.
