Icing an injury can help reduce pain and swelling, but timing matters!🧊

For most injuries, apply ice for 10–15 minutes at a time (no more than 20 minutes) during the first 48–72 hours after the injury. Short, controlled icing sessions can help manage inflammation and support early healing after sprains, strains, and joint injuries.
