What is cryotherapy?
A medical treatment that involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures.
How does cryotherapy work?
- It works by exposing the body to extreme cold temperatures, causing a physiological response where blood vessels constrict, pulling blood towards the core to protect vital organs; when exiting the cold environment, the blood then rushes back to the extremities, carrying oxygen and nutrients.
- Furthermore, Localized cryotherapy is a targeted treatment that uses pressurized vapor to address pain and inflammation in specific areas of the body.
- The vapor is created by concentrating liquid nitrogen into a pressurized beam.
- The treatment increases microcirculation, boosts endorphins, and reduces pain and inflammation.
What is the purpose for receiving cryotherapy?
To promote healing and reduce inflammation, often used for pain relief and muscle recovery after exercise.
How long do cryotherapy sessions last?
90 seconds up to 3-minutes
How long does the effects of cryotherapy last?
If you receive cryotherapy for an injury, the pain relief may last a few hours. However, if you receive cryotherapy for arthritis, the pain relief may last a few days. In general, the more severe the condition, the longer the effects of cryotherapy will last.
How many sessions is a recommended number of treatments?
The frequency of cryotherapy sessions can vary based on individual goals and needs. For general wellness and recovery, 2-3 sessions per week are typically recommended. Athletes or those seeking significant pain relief may benefit from more frequent sessions, sometimes up to 5 times a week.
