Many pain-relieving medicines are hard on the body. The most common drugs for pain relief are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs or NSAIDs. These include acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen, that can cause gastrointestinal issues if used for an extended time, such as using them for chronic pain management.
Cold therapy reduces blood flow, while moist heat and heat therapy increase it. Cold therapy is most often used to manage acute pain from an injury such as a sprained ankle, but is also helpful to many suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions that can lead to inflammation. Moist heat and heat accelerate healing by bringing nutrients and blood cells to a painful area of the body.
Individuals who are looking to address their acute or chronic pain naturally instead of regularly reaching for pain medications. Drug-free pain relief is intended to enhance the body's own healing and pain management mechanisms. Simply by managing the blood flow to an area of the body you can help it heal.
Moist heat therapy has proven to be one of the most effective methods to increase circulation and speed the healing process. Moist heat alone, or in conjunction with appropriate medication, is also the recommendation of health professionals to ease pain, reduce stiffness and improve flexibility when dealing with chronic conditions.
Heat therapy is often overlooked in the desperate search for pain relief, but research proves this simple, natural method can alleviate pain better than many of the more complex, invasive strategies. Heat therapy enhances your body’s inherent healing power by stimulating circulation to remove toxins and increase the supply of rich, oxygenated nutrients available to damaged tissues.
Cold therapy penetrates into tissues to slow circulation, decrease pain and relax muscle spasms. Most importantly, it is beneficial in preventing or reducing swelling after exercise, injury or for some conditions that result in swelling.
