First 48 hours after an injury: Use ice or a cold compress to minimize swelling and numb the pain. For effective cold therapy, apply the ice or cold compress for 20 minutes, then remove it for 20 minutes to allow the skin and tissues to warm up. This cycle helps prevent frostbite or skin damage while maximizing the benefits of reduced inflammation and pain relief. Repeat this process throughout the first 48 hours after the injury. #ColdCompression #AcuteInjuryCare #RecoveryEssentials
