Ice Pack or Heat Pack?!
Question:
Ice Pack or Heat Pack?
What's the difference in using an Ice Pack or Heat Pack?
When is it more efficient to use one of them?
I have lower back pain, so which one to use?
Answers:
Ice pack are usually best to keep swelling down, reduce inflammation, helps w/itching and bruising.
Heat packs good to soothe aching, sore, tight areas. My dad has lower back problems, and heat packs work best for him.
I'd try them both to see what works best for you, but I'm guessing that heat will loosen up the tension in your back best.
