If the human bodies reaction to an injury is swelling, why do we always try to reduce the swelling?

The human body has the awesome ability to heal itself in a lot of situations. When we injure something, the first thing we hear is to ice to reduce swelling. If that's the bodies reaction and starting point to healing, why do we try so hard to reduce it?

Cause the immune system has no chill and can end up causing damage to healthy or uninjured parts of the body. So in some cases its better to rein it in than to let it run wild. Most times however controlling swelling is more to do with personal comfort then actually helping/hurting as all sorts of things can cause swelling and most are pretty benign so your body will heal fine with or without the discomfort brought on by swelling.
