HOW COLD THERAPY WORKS:

Stage 1:

Application of cold begins instantly by reducing cell activity and the immediate oxygen requirement, giving small vessels time to seal off their damaged portions, rapidly reducing further blood loss which forms and increases bruising.

Stage 2:

As the temperatue at the injury site drops, arterial blood vessels start to dilate sending a rush of beneficial warm blood to the area encouraging the arrival of oxygen and other cell requirements. Venous blood carries away the injury debris or waste which reduces local pressure and therefore pain. The reduction of pain reduces muscel spasm adjacent to the trauma. Furthermore the sensitivity of pain receptors is reduced by cold.
