Cold therapy units, frequently used after knee surgery or injury, can be acquired temporarily through various providers. This access offers a convenient way to apply consistent, controlled cold therapy, reducing pain and swelling at home.
Consistent cold application aids in managing post-operative discomfort and inflammation, promoting faster healing and improved range of motion. Historically, managing pain and swelling relied on less effective methods like ice packs, which require frequent replacement and can be cumbersome. Modern cold therapy units provide continuous cold at a controlled temperature, optimizing therapeutic benefits and patient comfort.
