When alternating heat and ice for injury treatment, it's typically recommended to apply ice for about 15-20 minutes to reduce swelling, followed by a rest period of at least 20 minutes, and then apply heat for another 15-20 minutes to relax muscles and improve blood flow. This cycle can be repeated several times a day, but it's important to monitor the body's response and consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
