Which injury suggests heat as a first aid treatment?
Heat is usually not a good option for first aid. Within the first 72 hours after an injury, ice is usually best since it decreases inflammation. However, if you pull a muscle or are experiencing muscle spasms (repeated and frequent sharp muscle pains) then heat may be ideal for a day or so since it may relieve some muscle tightness, decrease the spasms and abate the pain. Although the heat may increase inflammation and congestion in an area, the desire to abate serious pain and stop the continuation of spasms supersedes this worry. Hypothermia is another obvious time to use heat as first aid.

When should you use heat when getting injured?
Always use ice for the first 48 hours after a new injury. Heat might sometimes feel better, but it doesn't help with inflammation from the injury, so it doesn't promote healing.
