Does ice work for swelling?
Ice does a lot for swelling. It decreases blood flow to the area by vasoconstriction. This constriction limits the amount of blood coming to the injured area, therefore less fluid leaks into the injured tissue. Cold therapy will help minimize the complications of swelling by decreasing the leakage of fluids and increasing the rate of re-absorption of unwanted fluid in the injured tissues. This means that ice does not stop swelling. It only restricts the blood flow so that the swelling will be slowed down. Ice immediately after swelling occurs. Icing the next day won't do anything.
