We all get crazy and trip over our own feet. Ice pack or hot pack which works best? Here you go: cold for new injuries such as sprained ankle, sore elbow after tennis (yes, we have tennis courts in Rocky Point), aching joints after jet skiing or pulling in a big fish. the cold reduces swelling and eases inflammation. TIP: A bag of frozen peas makes a great emergency ice pack.
Heat for pain or muscle soreness, after paddling a kayak in our warm ocean or working out in one of our local gyms and playing beach volley ball. P.S. always wrap your ice bag or hot pack in a towel before applying it to the sore area. Stay awake while using cold therapy. Apply treatment for no more than 20 minutes then remove for 20 minutes before reapplying. If you have a more serious condition Rocky Point has a Red Cross location on Freemont Blvd. and a first class medical clinic on the road to Sandy Beach.
