Ice for 15 minutes..when 15 minutes is up wait an hour before icing again. With injuries to the spine do not exceed 15 min! Leaving the ice on too long can damage the skin and even the nerves! It can also cause edema...leaving the ice on the injured area too long will also trick you body into thinking it is freezing and will bring more blood to the injury and make swelling much worse.
Anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes on the spot of he injury. Too long might damage skin and too short won't allow the swelling to go down. That's the rules i go by, however, I am not a trained doctor, so i don't know if i am right. Sorry if i am wrong.
