Ice, Gel, Chemical Packs or Alcohol-Based Self-Cooling
Products - It's Time for a Change!
Chemical packs and
alcohol-based cooling products are not the best mode
of treatment for pain, swelling, hematoma's (bruises) heat
exhaustion, hemophilia or other disorder requiring cold
therapy in either humans or animals.
The "colder
is better" concept is not science, as it has been shown
that ice, gel and chemical packs can actually inhibit vasoconstriction and
increase inflammation and swelling if not applied appropriately.
If this occurs, it increases the chances of soft-tissue
injury and long-term damage to the tendons and muscles.
As for alcohol based
products, they only provide
"surface" cooling, but do not reduce the temperature
of the deeper layers of muscle enough to be therapeutically
beneficial. These types of products often cause vasodilation of
the surface blood vessels thereby increasing irritation and
swelling in the more superficial tissues as well as irritation
of abraded or dry skin.
Why Is COLDFLEX® Better?
