"An ice pack for achilles tendon pain is one of the most effective first-aid treatments you can use at home. When your Achilles tendon becomes inflamed or injured, applying cold therapy helps numb nerve endings, reduce swelling, and provide much-needed pain relief."

"Intermittent cryotherapy of 3×10 min significantly decreases local Achilles tendon mid-portion capillary blood flow by 71%. Within 2 min of rewarming, tendon oxygen saturation is re-established following cryotherapy. Postcapillary venous filling pressures are reduced during cryotherapy, favoring capillary venous outflow of the healthy Achilles tendon."
