does icing prevent stress fractures?

 Hello,
No, icing does not prevent stress fractures. Decreasing the amount, duration or frequency of stress on a particular bone will decrease the risk of stress fractures.
Ice decreases the local effects of injury e.g. swelling, pain and inflammation.
Take care.
