Will an ice pack relieve neck pain if you have whiplash?
An ice pack applied soon after any soft tissue injury, like a whiplash injury of the neck after an auto accident , can be very helpful. Using an ice pack after falling down, a sudden impact injury, or muscle overuse can reduce inflammation and pain, as well as speed healing. An ice pack should be made so that the ice is not in direct contact with the skin; using a thin layer of cloth or even a single sheet of paper towel between the ice and the skin is usually sufficient to prevent freezing of the tissue by overexposing the skin to cold. Twenty minutes is about the longest that an ice pack should be used on one area before the area is allowed to warm up again; do not leave an ice pack in place too long since injury can occur and after 20 minutes the effectiveness of the cold therapy is reduced greatly. Wait at least 40 minutes before applying the ice pack to the same area for greatest effectiveness.
