Cryotherapy uses cold aid to reduce swelling and inflammation of tissue in the back and neck to help accelerate the healing process. Excess swelling can impede healing and contribute to uncomfortable pressure pain.
Applying cold to an injury produces two important effects. It helps relieve pain and it reduces swelling. Cold slows down nerve activity, which creates a numbing effect and reduces the sensation of pain. It also does it without any side effects that prescription or OTC medications might cause.
Cryotherapy also helps slow cellular metabolism, allowing your body to heal faster. Slower cellular metabolism means less cell death and less tissue for the body to repair.
Cryotherapy is an excellent solution for those suffering from pain caused by a wide-variety of spine-related health issues:
The subzero cryotherapy machine uses pressurized CO2 gas to target a local area of the body and cause “thermal shock.” The sudden decrease in temperature rapidly activates the body’s healing response to relax muscles, promote flow of blood and nutrients, and reduce pain. You’ll be amazed how quickly cryotherapy treatment can reduce your pain and speed your recovery!
Muscle relaxant: Reduces muscle spasms and enhances pain and healing by slowing nerve activity.
Anti-inflammatory: Reduces the temperature and metabolic rate of wounded tissue to constrict blood vessels, limiting blood flow and reducing edema.
Analgesic: Slows nerve signal transmission to decrease pain impulse transmission.
Vasomotor: The Subzero promotes healthy blood flow and can reduce damaging blood vessel constriction.
