Pro Ice® Cold Therapy Products Provide Non-Toxic Pain Relief

Pain has become a national epidemic. Each year, some 50 million workdays are lost due to pain-related absences. Some 40 million Americans have arthritis and 26 million experience frequent back pain. The sheer numbers have driven the use—or overuse—of non-prescription pain medications.

That has led to other issues. Each year, 56,000 emergency room visits are due to reactions to Acetaminophen, a common ingredient in pain relievers. Some 450 Americans die each year due to overdoses of the ingredient, or from liver damage caused by it. While the FDA is currently considering limiting the over-the-counter pain pill, an old pain reliever is emerging as a superior method. Icing—nature’s Novocain—can provide superior pain relief, without the worries.

Pro Ice, a line of icing products initially developed for athletes, is expanding its reach to those with acute and chronic pain who are worried about the effects of medications. With icing, there is no fear of overuse and no concerns over drug interactions. And it won’t damage the liver as over-the-counter medications can.

For those who are looking for a better way of dealing with pain, Pro Ice is the industry leader. Icing can be used to deal with acute pain from an injury, for chronic pain or in prophylactic or preventative situations.

Pro Ice has its foundations in baseball, where players—particularly pitchers—found benefits from cold therapy after leaving the field. This type of prophylactic icing helps repair the microtears that come from repetitive use. Seeing the benefits in baseball, athletes in other fields began using the products as well. And quickly, Pro Ice saw that its products could help put an end to suffering in a variety of situations.

Designed with simplicity in mind, Pro Ice offers a number of benefits over traditional ice packs. Its patented product keeps a consistent 27 degrees for an hour, allowing for 20 minutes of icing, with 20 minutes off and 20 on—widely considered the most beneficial way to ice. Its window pane design conforms to any body type and the wraps keep the ice contoured to the body.

Pro Ice offers 15 body-specific products—some of which have additional functions—and a multi-purpose wrap. The strapping mechanism is designed to be used without assistance and can help the product conform to a person of almost any size.

Because of its ease of use, Pro Ice is also tremendously beneficial to cancer patients, 70 percent of whom report significant pain during their illness. Few receive any treatment for pain for fear of drug interaction with their cancer treatments. Icing has no such worries.

Pro Ice Cold Therapy Products have been used to keep athletes in play since 1991.

Our Pitcher’s Kit was developed to help relieve the violent motions that come along with a pitcher’s movements and to help restore the shoulder and elbow. We quickly discovered that teams were using our cold therapy products to ice others as well. Pro Ice then developed an entire line of reusable cold packs that could offer immediate relief for the most taxed body parts. Pro Ice products have a variety of uses beyond the field of play as well.

Our focus on quality products has meant that athletes and non-athletes alike can get the right wrap for the job, at the exact moment the job needs doing. In the years since, Pro Ice has found applications in the work place, the home and in other sporting venues as well. Whether it’s helping a mixed martial arts athlete relieve the acute pain after a match or helping a factory worker prevent repetitive stress injuries after a day on the job, Pro Ice intends to bring relief to the millions of Americans who suffer any type of pain.
