Using an ice wrapped moist towel or ice pack is often being advised to carry on at the every 24 to 72 hours of injury. Just make sure to cover the affected area for about 15 to 20 minutes at once each after two to three hours interval. It will not only help you in giving relief from pain, swelling and stiffness of the affected area. Exposure to cold temperature narrows down the affected area and hence decreases the blood flow to the affected area. Moreover, it also stimulates the flow of lymph fluid and hence boosts up the healing process a lot.
