You wrap the soft ice bag around the back of your head from behind one ear to behind the other.

I have been seen by many chiros besides the NUCCA chiro and almost every one has recommended ice at one point in time, especially for chronic or long term injuries.

Some have used heat or moist heat before a treatment, too. The pre-treatment modalities are to reduce muscle spasms or tension to allow easier adjustments or manipulations.

The ice is to reduce any treatment caused inflammation and to improve healing.

Even our miracle worker PT recommends ice after a treatment.
