Localized Cryotherapy

A powerful service that naturally reduces pain and inflammation.

What is
Localized Cryotherapy?

Localized Cryotherapy uses cold air at temperatures below -200 degrees F to aggressively remove inflammation and swelling out of an injured area. At nearly 20 times the intensity of an ice pack, you can expect inflammation to effectively jump out of your body from the moment the session starts!

Benefits Of Localized Cryotherapy

Decreases Pain

Decreases Pain

Localized cryotherapy significantly reduces inflammation in a matter of minutes! Because swelling usually causes pain through chronic stimulation of nerve ending receptors, a dramatic reduction can result in remarkable impact on even the worst musculoskeletal pain out there.

Accelerates Recovery

Accelerates Recovery

Following a localized cryotherapy session, blood is redistributed back into the region. This effect leads to faster recovery for damaged cells due to the increase of oxygen, nutrient, and enzyme availability. All of these have a significant impact on a cell's ability to properly recover from trauma and damage.

Enhances Range Of Motion

Enhances Range Of Motion

A reduction in swelling means a dramatic improvement in joint range of motion. This gives therapists the opportunity to progress injury rehab faster through adequate mobilization of the joint and surrounding connective tissues. Localized cryotherapy is a great tool to use on both chronic and acute injuries!

Promotes Activity

Promotes Activity

Lets face it. When you are in pain, it’s very difficult to want to remain active at all. A chronic injury shouldn’t force the rest of your body out of physical activity. Local cryotherapy is a powerful pain management tool that can be used before activity to break pain and encourage you to stay active despite a nagging injury.

How does Localized Cryotherapy Work?

Step 1:

When an area sits with inflammation for a long period of time due to trauma, the nutrients that are carried with it to help with the recovery eventually dry up. Prolonged inflammation actually prevents adequate flow of new nutrients to the site of the injury. Localized Cryotherapy works by aggressively recycling inflammation to an injury through dramatic changes in surface skin temperature. 

Step 2:

When the skin receptors in a local area are first stimulated by the cold air, they all simultaneously send this sensory information to the hypothalamus of the brain. This reaction triggers a massive restriction in blood flow to the area as a natural response to the fast drop off in surface skin temperature.

Step 3:

Once the session is over, surface skin temperature reheats quickly, prompting a dilation of blood vessels. This effectively carries fresh, nutrient dense, blood back to the damaged area to help speed up the recovery process. 

Localized Cryotherapy FAQ'S

While somewhat similar, whole body cryotherapy and localized cryotherapy still have some major differences. Localized cryotherapy is actually more powerful for fighting pain in one specific area while whole body cryotherapy is best used for a systemic wellness response throughout the entire body.

A session can range anywhere between 3 to 7 minutes long depending on how much inflammation is in the area. Injuries with larger amounts of inflammation take longer to cool off to the proper stimulus temperature. 

Yes! In fact, it’s encouraged as they work synergistically yet focus on different things. You would always start with a whole body cryotherapy session and then move to a localized cryotherapy session.

Yes! This depends on the type of injury. If it is a muscular related injury (ie: strain), then Red Light Therapy is highly encouraged following a session. For injuries surrounding a joint (ie: sprains, overuse), the Marc Pro Plus is recommended following a session.
