How it works
Vasoconstriction reduces blood flow to the inflamed bursa, decreasing inflammatory mediator accumulation. Slows nerve conduction velocity, raising the local pain threshold.
Apply for 15â20 minutes, several times daily. Use a cloth barrier to prevent ice burns. Most effective in acute phase with significant warmth and swelling. Switch to heat for chronic, non-inflamed bursitis.
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.
