Welcome to NeuroTalk.
Yes Ice can work, the same way menthol does.
By stimulating the cold receptor nerves you block the sensations from the heat receptors temporarily.
You might want to try Biofreeze, it works the same way, without the bother of the cold water treatment.
This is just basically symptomatic, however. The Biofreeze does have a potent antioxidant in it too, which helps with inflammatory situations. The ice does not of course.
