Cryo-Therapy

What is Cryo Therapy?

Cryo therapy is the use of cooling power, derived from carbon dioxide, to help stimulate the body’s natural healing response. It works by creating an extreme cold source that is concentrated on various parts of the body. Once the cold source is removed, the body is able to rapidly warm the affected area by expanding the blood vessels to a larger diameter than normal. This increase in oxygen rich blood flow is allows the surrounding tissue to be saturated with nutrients, neurotransmitters, and hormones. In conjunction with the influx of good things that are soaking into the tissue, byproducts and waste that is produced by the body, is also being flushed from the area and moved toward the lymphatic system for processing.

Cryo-Therapy for Physical Therapy and Athletes

Cryo-Therapy works for Physical Therapy and for Athletes by reducing inflammation in the muscle tissue. This reduction of inflammation allows the patient to feel pain relief, as well as heal faster.

Cryo-Therapy also allows the injured or sore muscles to be saturated with oxygen and nutrient rich blood, which in turn, also allows for faster healing and pain reduction.
