    Ice Pack

This is ice therapy you can do at home. You can use an ice gel pack, a freezer bag filled with ice, or a package of frozen peas or other frozen vegetables.

Sit comfortably in an upright position. Begin by placing a damp towel across the top of your shoulder. Then, place an ice pack over the damp towel, conforming the shape of the ice pack to the shape of your shoulder. Next, place a bath towel over your shoulder, covering everything. The cold therapy will now be evenly distributed across your shoulder.

You can use this ice pack for up to 20 minutes. Wait one hour before repeating.

Testimonial

  • "When I first came to Dr. Taylor, I had been having lower back troubles for a few months on and off. I am a lacrosse player and I was playing in a game when I received a very nasty body check which caused me very serious back pain for a couple weeks. Finally, I went to Dr. Taylor's office in mid June and met with her once a week until mid August. Over that time my back pain disappeared entirely and my (unknown to me at the time) uneven legs went from being an inch different in length to less than 1/8 of an inch. My posture also noticeably improved and I am finding new strength and flexibility in my game that I had never seen before. I look forward to working with her more when I return home on college break."
