Both the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arc4life.com\/site\/615058\/page\/623201\">ice<\/a> and Biofreeze reduced pain. The one difference was that Biofreeze showed significant <b>increase in muscle function<\/b> where the ice did not.<\/p>\n<p>Biofreeze works similar to ice in how it helps to heal. Ice therapy initially constricts local blood vessels and decreases tissue temperature. This constriction decreases blood flow and cell metabolism, which can limit hemorrhage and cell death in an acute traumatic injury.<br \/>The fact that Biofreeze was able to help restore muscle function was significant because allowing muscles and ligaments to work like they should reflects that nerve function is also better.<\/p>\n<p>In our Central CT office, we use ice after muscle therapy and sometimes following adjustments, or we give home icing instructions. We also do the same with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arc4life.com\/site\/615058\/product\/BioFreeze\">Biofreeze<\/a>. The reason is to <b>speed the healing process<\/b>. We have found both to be natural means of getting our patients better faster. One of the nice things is that you don\u2019t need to be in the office to use them; both can be utilized right at home.<\/p>\n<p><u>Additional Reading Resources<\/u>:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arc4life.com\/site\/615058\/page\/1354135\">How to Treat Tight Muscles Using Biofreeze<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arc4life.com\/site\/615058\/page\/623201\">Hot and Cold Therapy for Pain Relief<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neckpainsupport.com\/2009\/07\/my-trapezius-really-hurtshow-do-i-find-relief.html\">My Trapezius Really Hurts, How Do I Find Relief?<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neckpainsupport.com\/2009\/08\/neck-muscles-most-responsible-for-your-stiff-neck-and-trigger-points-the-levator-scapulae-trapezius.html\">Neck Muscles Most Responsible For Your Stiff Neck And Trigger Points: The Levator Scapulae and Trapezius<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/http:\/\/npxsupport.anrpublish.hop.clickbank.net\/?x=neckpain\">Treating Neck Pain without Surgery or Medication<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Visit <a title=\"Neck Pillows for Neck Pain Relief I Travel Neck Pillows I Neck Traction at Home\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arc4life.com\/\">Arc4life.com<\/a> for your online selection of cervical support neck pillows, orthopedic pain relief products and Home traction units.
