Be Sure to Ice!
Ice helps keep inflammation levels under control. This will help minimize the soreness you are likely to feel. Ice should be your go-to therapy not only after your first few visits but also any time you injure yourself. Ice/cryotherapy should be used, instead of heat, during the first 72 hours after an injury. While heat can sometimes have a benefit and usually feels good while it’s on, it can often times make symptoms worse.
It takes 20 minutes in the freezer for a typical gel ice pack to get cold enough to provide a benefit. Once it is cold, place it on each area that was adjusted for 20 minutes. Make sure there is something thin (t-shirt, paper towel, etc) between the pack and your skin.
