By trying to reduce inflammation, you could also be interfering with the process of repair.
However, icing a sprain does still have some benefits, such as reducing initial inflammation so that you can start to do what can actually help - moving the muscles.

Um, that's pretty much what icing is supposed to do. No one is advised to keep icing a sprain past a couple of days
