to use these treatments. They both work in the opposite way applying ice to tight and stiff muscles
can aggravate symptoms on the other hand heat helps soothe stiff joints and relax muscles. Cold
packs applied to bruising reduces swelling as well as confine broken blood vessels. Alternatively, if
you apply heat to a bruise in the first two or three days it may cause more bleeding and swelling.
