Cold, compression, and heat therapy for elbow pain — drug-free relief for tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, tendonitis, and everyday overuse.
For a fresh strain or flare-up, cold plus compression is the standard of care (the "I" and "C" in R.I.C.E.). A Soft Ice® Elbow Wrap or universal joint compression wrap delivers targeted cold and gentle compression to numb pain and calm inflammation.
For hands-free, longer-lasting cold — after surgery or a stubborn flare — the Polar Active Ice® 3.0 Knee, Ankle & Elbow Cold Therapy System wraps the joint and circulates ice-cold water continuously for hours.
For chronic stiffness or arthritis, switch to moist heat to relax the surrounding muscles and boost circulation. One rule of thumb: skip heat on a fresh injury or swollen joint — lead with cold.
