Cold and Hot Therapy
This is a very effective treatment option in most cases, and it is widely used and recommended by doctors along with drugs and medical treatment. Sometimes it is recommended to use cold therapy for the first couple of days, then switch to heat therapy. This is because cold treatment can help reduce swelling and inflammation, while heat can relax the muscles. Both types of treatment can be applied on their own or in combination, and you may choose to use both on the same days or alternate them.
When using hot or cold temperatures for knee pain, you should be aware that the temperatures are not too high or too low, and you don’t get the compress directly to your skin. Instead, use a towel or a cloth to avoid frostbite and burns. Be careful when handling hot temperatures, and do not use either of them for more than 15 minutes each time.
