    I would always say ice at first then gentle excerise and lots of rest but keep wiggleing your toes for circulation

      Depending on the severity ice & rest early stages , followed by heat packs , and gradual exercise  .

    Use hot and cold pads alternately.  If no improvement, try acupuncture.

    Ice for thirty minutes followed by warm water (with Epsom salt) for thirty minutes. The temperature allow for vasodilitation.(sp? - the body will change blood flow to account for changes...)
