Ice Pack or Hot Pack?
Cold Pack for:
Ø New Injuries, sprain ankles, sore elbows, bruises and as a first remedy for aching joints or arthritis flare ups.
Ø Cold reduces swelling and eases inflammation and pain by numbing the nerves.
Heat Pack for:
Ø Chronic pain or muscle soreness or areas sensitive to cold.
Whichever you use:
Ø Consult with a doctor before you use either, especially if you have diabetes.
Ø Wrap it in a towel before applying to the sore area. Direct contact to the skin can cause injury.

GO INDEPENDENT
Stations not affiliated with a major chain may be less expensive.
