Dr. H. Gilbert Welch is an academic physician, a professor at Dartmouth Medical School, and a nationally recognized expert on the effects of medical testing. He sees the value of medical care, particularly in those who are acutely ill or injured. But in many other settings, we have exaggerated the benefits of medical care and understated its harms. In this video, Dr. Welch examines some widely held assumptions about the value of medical care. Assumptions covered: 1 – All risks can be lowered 2 – It’s always better to fix the problem 3 – Sooner detection is always better 4 – It never hurts to get more information 5 – Action is always better than inaction 6 – Newer is always better 7 – It’s all about avoiding death Click the Like button below

However, it is important to know that cold therapy does not necessarily heal anything in your body. It is primarily used to ease the pain. It does lower the blood circulation to the area of injury, preventing major inflammation. It also numbs the nerves thus calming the pain. But in part 1 I talked about how blood circulation is important for the healing process. Because our ultimate goal should be total healing, I do not recommend the use of cold therapy after 24 to 48 hours of the injury because it slows down blood circulation and proper blood circulation is very important to our body's healing.
Research into cold therapy has shown that the long cooling effects of ice on an injury and in particular to damaged soft tissue, may reduce the amount of inflammation, swelling and pain. Click the Like button below |
