Ice should be applied to the injured area in the acute stages which is usually within the first 24-48 hours. Ice reduces inflammation and swelling by decreasing blood flow to the area. Heat is typically used after the initial infliction of injury; it increases blood flow and aids in the healing process by delivering blood and nutrients to the area. Heat is also good to use before exercise or physical activity to lower the possibility of getting hurt. Heat should not be applied to fresh surgical incisions as it could make the incision bleed.

They are commonly used for conditions such as bursitis, arthritis, stiffness, and tendinitis. An epidural is also a steroid injection, but it is used to reduce the inflammation of spinal nerves. The epidural is administered to relieve neck, back, leg, and arm pain from various conditions that could be compressing nerves. It is injected directly into the spinal canal and sometimes patients need 2 or 3 injections before experiencing significant relief.
