Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy from a Lithonia/Stonecrest, GA Chiropractor

back pain

Cryotherapy has recently been researched as a treatment for prostate cancer. However, since the development of cryotherapy, it's been known as a treatment for nerve-related conditions. At Full Body Rejuvenation Center, serving Lithonia/Stonecrest, GA and the surrounding area, we use it as a safe and effective remedy for pain.

Definition of Cryotherapy Treatment

Cryotherapy utilizes freezing temperatures to numb irritated nerves. During a cryotherapy treatment, our chiropractor uses a probe that's inserted near the tissue you're experiencing problems with, and then the temperature of the probe decreases to freeze the nerve. When the nerve is frozen, it deactivates it, ultimately relieving pain and irritation.

During a cryotherapy treatment, your blood vessels constrict as a reaction to the cold. This reduces the amount of inflammation you have. Cryotherapy is intended to reduce pain and inflammation to speed up your recovery, possibly allowing you to resume your usual activities sooner.

Cryotherapy Benefits

The most vital of all of the cryotherapy benefits is its ability to relieve pain caused by nerve issues. It has the ability to relieve swelling, too. Our chiropractor uses it to treat conditions such as benign nerve growths and pinched nerves, just to name a few. You'll notice you have a decrease in symptoms like numbness and tingling because cryotherapy stops sensations in the nerve.

It's beneficial for those recovering from injuries including sports-related and personal injuries. Additionally, cryotherapy benefits those who've undergone surgery. People with certain conditions benefit the most from cryotherapy. For instance, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia patients may also find relief.

Side Effects of Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is considered relatively safe for most patients. Some patients do experience unwanted nerve irritation such as unusual sensations. It's possible you'll have numbness or tingling. Some people notice they have redness or irritation where the probe was applied. Side effects of cryotherapy tend to be mild and usually subside over time.
