Contraindications (Continued)
Heating contraindications include:
• Application to a body surface with compromised blood ow (Ischemia, area under pressure, arterial insufciency)
• Application to a patient with an increased tendency to bleed (aggravates potential for hemorrhage)
• Application to a body surface with possible malignancy (tissue metabolism is increased and therefore, the growth
potential of the malignant tissues)
• Treatment of hematoma within the rst 24 to 48 hours (potential for re-bleeding and hemorrhage). Recent sprain or
fracture (acute inammatory response).
• In combination with topical solutions whose toxicity may be affected by the application of heat
• In combination with other heat sources
Cooling contraindications include:
• Application to a body surface with compromised blood ow (Ischemia, area under pressure, arterial insufciency)
• Application to body surface with known vascular impairment such as frostbite, arteriosclerosis or ischemia
• Application to body surface in patients with hypersensitivity to cold, such as people with Raynaud’s phenomenon, cold
urticaria, cryoglobulinemia, and paraxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
• Application to body surface in patients with impaired sensation
• In combination with topical solutions whose toxicity may be affected by the application of cold
