advice

Musculoskeletal pain is numerous and can have different causes, such as sports trauma. Cramps, body aches, elongation. What to do in case of muscle pain?
Muscle pain can usually be combated by taking painkillers, such as paracetamol, applying an ointment, or treating pain with cryotherapy (cold treatment) and heat therapy (hot treatment).

The different virtues of cold are :

  • Anti-inflammatory: This action can only take place if a thermal shock occurs. The more rapid this reaction over time, the more interesting the anti-inflammatory action.
  • Analgesics and analgesics: The cold has the consequence of slowing down the conduction of nervous messages and reducing the sensitivity of nociceptors (pain receptors).

The virtues of warmth are :

  • Vasomotricity: more particularly vasodilation when the body temperature increases. The arrival of blood promotes the supply of oxygen, nutrients and proteins, thus promoting cellular healing and therefore better muscle recovery.
  • Analgesic: both heat and cold inhibit the sensitivity of pain receptors.
  • The increase in the extensibility of the collagen tissue which allows a relaxation of the muscle fibers.
  • A decrease in muscle spasms which results in a decrease in muscle contractures.
