Cryotherapy is a fairly new therapy that involves placing the body in freezing temperatures for a very brief period of time. Cryotherapy has many great benefits and is a good addition to your holistic treatment regimen. Learn more about the benefits of cryotherapy and what it can do for you.
Pain Relief
Studies have shown that cryotherapy does wonders for pain relief. Your doctor or chiropractor may recommend cryotherapy after chiropractic adjustments, muscle workouts, or physical therapy. Cryotherapy also assists in healing the muscles, which in turn relieves pain for a longer period of time.
Weight Loss
Individuals who use cryotherapy for other purposes have found that it also assists in weight loss. While cryotherapy will not make you lose weight on its own, it will support the process of your diet and exercise plan for weight loss.
Reduced Inflammation
Some pain and discomfort, as well as some mobility issues, are caused by excess inflammation in the body. There are many health conditions that can also cause inflammation. Cryotherapy considerably reduces inflammation after only one or two treatments.
Improved Mood
People who suffer from anxiety and depression have found that cryotherapy gives them a boost in mood. It can be very calming and relaxing, and it can make a huge difference in your mental health. Of course, cryotherapy will not work to combat anxiety and depression on its own, but it is a valid complementary treatment.
Eczema Treatment
Studies have found that people with eczema find some relief with cryotherapy treatments. Cryotherapy treatment helps reduce inflammation in the skin, helps heal the dry rough patches, and reduces itching.
Migraine Treatment
Many people have found that cryotherapy reduces the intensity and frequency of migraines. Some small clinical trials have been conducted that support these claims.
