Don't ice over a numb area or open wound. If the skin is numb you won't notice if you're developing an ice burn and ice on an open wound can increase the risk of infection.

For example, a splint will work best when used for infrequent use while a toe protector is best suited for people that use the corrector on a daily basis.
