Fix the cause of your pain rather than conceal the symptoms?
Ice will slow(not stop) the inflammation. The natural inflammation occurs to promote healing of the area. So, the ice will delay the healing and conceal the symptoms of injury, not fix anything.

Additional info of symptom relief: This is why drugs like NSAIDS are horrible in these cases, as it will break the healing process of the tissue and cause scar tissue. It greatly stunts tissue regeneration (inhibits fibroblasts (cells that regenerate tissue) and macrophages (cells that clean the waste from area))
