[@thestereokid6073]

I have had a lot of experience with personal injuries and find that it's alternating between the two that helps bring healing for injury while the area is still immobilized. Once that period is over, you can begin to bring some movement into the area, and then the rest/active balance starts to play a role. At this period you want to heat the sensitive area as part of a warm-up to prevent strain and afterwards, you want to ice it to reduce swelling and bring relaxation.

[@ryancharles9458]

Wow! Really a great info dude... Keep it up

[@Karimdelacreme]

Very clear and ticked every questions I had 🙂. Always when explaining something to someone I always like the presenter to take a step back and explain the basics to the user .

What if you got an acute injury but it's been more than 72 hours? Do you switch to heat for say a tendinitis or a bruised chest?

[@NoObGod101]

Doc,so should I use heat for healing now?!..... because I don't feel pain anymore,but only when I stress the injury

[@priyatamdesai79]

Doc You explained this complex therapy so nicely . Thank you 🙏🏻. However, I met with accident Diagnosed as Thigh - quadriceps muscle crush Doc told to use Ice 🧊 strictly ice 🧊. May I know how long does tissue take time to recovery . Accident took place on 5th of November 2021.

[@dr.kevinbrown9251]

It depends on the damage, but tissues can take give or take a year to heal after going through all the stages of healing and remodeling!!!

[@warrenpena6340]

Switching once a day, mainly ice on top of my head and forhead

[@UTAH100]

Thanks- clear tips. I fall into that grey area. My shoulder is sore, I believe from doing wide grip pull ups. Certain movements don't feel good and it's getting annoying- it's been a full month. At this point, should I use ICE or HEAT? It's well beyond 72 hours. I just bought a shoulder sling with a heated gel insert that can heat up to 120F for 20 minutes. Lately I have been taking hot showers then, after it's warm, I am doing gentle stretches- good idea? Pain is only 3 out of 10 and only in certain movements. I can do all range of motion stretches but some feel uncomfortable- feels like a bad strain or sprain. I have not seen a doctor yet or gotten an MRI. It hasn't bothered me that much- but I want to treat it right and not make it worse.

[@Jaaa24]

Hey man, I'm facing a similar problem. I pulled my back, and it's been 1 month for me. Has your injury healed? How long did it take after 1 month? What did you do to heal it? I appreciate

[@juanacevallos6419]

Hi doctor What type of massage is good for Bell’s palsy ?Thank you

[@dr.kevinbrown9251]

Bell’s palsy is due to an irritation of the cranial nerve 7. There is no specific massage for that. I don’t think It would hurt to massage the muscles around the face and around the eye. I’m not sure what treatment you’ve had for it yet. I’ve had it in the past and the first thing the doctor did was put me on prednisone to reduce swelling around the nerve root.

[@audreynicoletti7329]

How would heat make it worse ?

[@BRicker2]

I'm dealing with my piriformis being sore even though I got it working again via chiro adjustment,, and it seems ice works better. Heat - even moist heat seems to make it hurt more, so I'm thinking the heat is irritating some nerves?

[@dr.kevinbrown9251]

Probably so. I always like to use ice especially if it’s a nerve issue or a muscle that can possibly aggravate the sciatic nerve

[@dwass6721]

[@Blackfeather7777]

I've sprained my shoulder and it's been 5-7 days so should i go for ice or heat cos it hasn't been that long but yeah it's more than 72 hours so I'm kinda confused what to use.

I want to know too. This grey area was not addressed

The picture on the thumbnail was hilarious

[@dr.kevinbrown9251]

Brady Brown lol.... girls in office said the same thing and made me post it😂😂😂😂

[@WeatherNut27]

Good info! Last part was interesting. "You can never go wrong using ice. Ice will not make the situation worse; where heat might"

[@dr.kevinbrown9251]

That’s usually the case

[@TedMacknight]

Great video but...I was right with you until the end. My mom is 90 years old and she broke her foot about 5 years ago. When the cold weather comes her foot starts to hurt again and she has pain. She puts ice on it. I was following what you were saying and I was about to tell her to use heat instead when the last thing said was heat could be bad. It's and old injury so heat or cold? What should she do?

[@johndoe-ep7qk]

actually, this wasn't clear as regards CHRONIC tennis elbow. you said for acute injuries, swelling, etc, use ice. they you went on to say ice is good for things like tendonitis, but isn't tennis elbow a form of tendonitis? so what about chronic tennis elbow? ice or heat?

[@CarmenGarcia-bu3so]

Can I use ice for 20 mins then switch to heating pad for my back

[@praneetkomandur5313]

Can ice help a stiff shoulder occurring from an injury.

[@dr.kevinbrown9251]

Depends on how new the injury is. In my opinion I always will try ice first.

[@praneetkomandur5313]

@@dr.kevinbrown9251 i had a lot of pain a month ago after the injury first happened but now it's just this weird mild spreading pain and a lot of stiffness. This is an upper shoulder injury by the way. This week I planned on applying a lot more ice for 5 days straight and then switching to heat to stop stiffness. Is this a good plan?
