It is true that heat can aggravate inflammation but there are a lot of conditions that are not inflammatory based that can benefit from the use of heat. Ice is the safest choice if you're not sure if inflammation is involved. But ice is also not terribly effective for some conditions, where as heat can be. So it's not a black and white issue.
