Pain Management
Support with Cryotherapy
How Cryotherapy Supports Pain Management
The use of low temperature in the healing process and pain management has been around for centuries in the form of ‘ice packs’ or ‘cold showers’. Cryotherapy elicits the same effects but as temperatures achieved are considerably lower than other forms of treatment, results are seen quicker over a much shorter period of time.
As the use of cryotherapy becomes more common the list of conditions cryotherapy can treat is expanding. The science behind pain management and recovery is well documented; over the last 30 years the procedure has been used throughout Europe for the treatment of arthritic conditions and in Poland, the treatment is part of their State Healthcare System.
The application of extremely low temperature around the treated area whether by a WholeBody Cryotherapy Chamber or the Localised machine tricks the brain into reacting to this external stimulus.
Focused treatment
The application of extremely low temperature around the treated area whether by a WholeBody Cryotherapy Chamber or the Localised machine tricks the brain into reacting to this external stimulus.
Fast reaction
The body reacts by constricting blood vessels, instantly reducing any further swelling and bruising, preserving heat and simultaneously increasing levels of oxygen, pain relieving endorphins, nutrients and anti-inflammatory substances within the blood.
Quick recovery
Once treatment stops blood rushes back to the outer body bringing an enriched blood supply that promotes speedier recovery and pain relief naturally. Toxins and inflammatory substances are flushed away and metabolised from the body.
