Initial treatment for whiplash usually includes cold packs of ice applied to the neck for the first 24 hours. Heat may then be used to relieve pain either using heating pads or hot showers.
Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up
To calculate the heat required to convert ice to liquid at a temperature of 14.7°C, we first need to heat the ice from -12.1°C to 0°C, using the specific heat capacity of ice. Then we calculate the heat required to melt the ice at 0°C to water at 0°C, using the heat of fusion of ice. Finally, we calculate the heat required to heat the water from 0°C to 14.7°C, using the specific heat capacity of water. By performing these calculations, we can determine if the available heat of 4390 J is sufficient.
Heat is added to ice to make it melt. When heat is applied, it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules in the ice, causing them to break free from their rigid structure and turn into liquid water.
It is generally recommended to use ice for the first 48 hours after a rib fracture to help reduce swelling and pain. After the initial 48 hours, heat therapy may be more beneficial to help relax the muscles and promoting healing. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper guidance on treatment.
Manufacturers heat treat metal for a variety of reason. One reason is to alter the physical appearance of the metal. Another reason is to harden the metal. They may even heat treat the metal in order to soften the metal to make it more malleable.
Whiplash is treated by medications, exercises, traction, massage, heat and ice, ultrasound, physical therapy and rarely surgery. Most of the time whiplash can be treated using home treatments.
Ice for swelling heat is for relaxing mussels
Exercise treats whiplash by preventing chronic symptoms, improving the condition of muscles.
you ice it and heat it do a lot of stretching
Ice-cream treat
It is not necessary to seek medical help for whiplash. Whiplash can be treated at home with Ice on the affected area for 20 minutes, an anti-inflammatory and if needed otc pain medication.
Whiplash injury is commonly treated with analgesics (painkillers) and neck braces. Paracetamol is typically prescribed used to treat moderate neck pain.
A soft cervical collar may provide some relief for symptoms of whiplash for 2 or 3 weeks, if used longer muscle flexibility and strength could be inhibited.
I had the same exact question today. I found this site to be the most helpful. It explains the difference very well. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/rehab/a/heatorcold.htm
no you should treat your gas with a ethanol/ gasoline mixer it keeps them from separating and freezing
put ice on it and the put some hot rice in a sock heat it and then put it on your jaw
Heat is forbidden because it increases the risk of infection.So dry cold is recommended, but for short periods of time or it will slow down the healingprocess
