Chill in the freezer or refrigerator for a 20 minute cold therapy treatment to help reduce pain, swelling & inflammation.
Warm in the microwave for a heat therapy treatment to help increase circulation & provide soothing comfort.
Use compression therapy to help control & reduce swelling. Compression also helps limit movement, allowing the injured area to rest.
R.I.C.E. Treatment
As soon as possible after an injury, you can begin to help relieve both pain & swelling while also promoting healing & flexibility with R.I.C.E.—Rest, Ice, Compression, & Elevation.
Cold & compression are both key elements in every doctor-recommended R.I.C.E. treatment. NatraCure's Hip Wrap provides cold therapy & compression, so that you can comfortably rest & elevate!
REST
Rest the injured area. Stop, change, or take a break from any activity that may be causing your pain or soreness. Immobilization helps prevent any further injury & gives your body the time it needs to recover.
ICE
Applying a cold pack right away helps prevent & minimize swelling. Cold therapy also helps reduce pain by numbing the affected area.
COMPRESSION
Compression provides support & helps decrease swelling in the affected area. Less swelling means less pain & more accelerated healing.
ELEVATION
Elevate the injured area on pillows while applying cold therapy. Try to keep the area at or above the level of your heart to help reduce swelling & ease discomfort.
