Using Ice Baths For Arthritis

Using ice baths for arthritis is becoming more popular as it is a safe, non-invasive and natural form of therapy that can be effective in reducing pain. How ice baths help with arthritic pain is that cold therapy constricts blood vessels which can slow the rate of inflammation and reduce swelling whilst also temporarily numbing sore areas.

In addition to pain management, using ice baths for rheumatoid arthritis can also help with boosting your immune system and helping to train your brain to have a higher tolerance to stressors. This, along with boosting your mood and helping to reduce anxiety & depression make ice baths a multifaceted form of therapy – ideal for those suffering from arthritis.

Ice baths are ideal for arthritic hands and other areas of the body too as you are fully immersed in the cold water making full coverage more achievable and thorough than other forms of cold therapy (such as ice packs). Many also find it much more tolerable not to have pressure or weight applied to painful areas.

It is important to note that before you use ice baths for rheumatoid arthritis or other forms of arthritis we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider. Factors to consider and discuss to ensure safe, effective treatment include:

  • Temperature
  • Ensuring a safe environment (e.g. having someone present during your session)
  • Duration
  • Frequency
  • Other conditions that may rule out using ice baths for arthritis
