How it works
Cold reduces periosteal blood flow and inflammatory mediator accumulation. NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin-driven sensitisation of periosteal nociceptors.
Symptom management only — does not address the underlying cause. Long-term NSAID use for bone stress injuries is not recommended as prostaglandins play a role in bone healing.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
