	Health Tip
	Ice or Heat Which Should I Use? If you have a new injury such as a muscle strain, sprained ankle or bruise. It is best to use ice. At some point in your life you probably learned the acronym RICE R est - the injured area I ce - apply ice or a cold pack C ompresssion - lightly wrap the injured area to reduce swelling and bruising E levation - raise the injured body part above the heart to reduce swelling When using ice leave the ice on for 15 to 20 minutes NO longer. Do not reapply the ice until the skin has returned to normal temperature or about 40 minutes. Always use a thin towel between your skin and whatever you are using as your cold source whether it is a bag of frozen vegetables, a cold pack, or a baggie of ice cubes. Usually withing a couple of days for minor injuries you can begin using either alternating heat and ice or heat once the swelling has subsided. Consult with your health care practioner if pain or swelling continues.
