AB  - The  use  of  cold  as  a  therapeutic  agent  has  a  long  history,  beginning  in  Egypt  around  2500  bc.1  However,  the  use  of  cold  for  injury  management  and  rehabilitation  did  not  become  prevalent  until  the  1950s  and  1960s.2,3,4  Although  many  technological  advances  have  been  made  in  the  realm  of  therapeutic  modalities  in  the  past  century,  the  use  of  cold  (water,  ice,  or  gel)  remains  one  of  the  most  effective  and  least  expensive  modes  of  acute  injury  and  pain  management.
