Dr. Js rant of the day: Day after day after month after year i have been seeing this ti;l I want to scream... If emergency rooms would make JUST ONE CHANGE in their treatment recommendations to patients after strains, sprains, bumps, bruises, musculoskeletal injuries, and traumas of all kinds, it would make an ENORMOUS difference in their recoveries. Please STOP instructing these patients to use HEAT! The correct choice in 999 of 1000 cases is --- ICE, ICE, ICE, ICE, ICE......!!! Trust me. Ive muscle tested cold and warm over injuries this at least 300 times over 28 yrs of practice, and there is absolutely no question about it. Furthermore - forget about the Ice for 24 hrs, then go to heat mantra. Its bunk too. COLD, COLD, COLD. Other than that, i really have no strong feelings either way on the matter :)
