What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy, is simply cold therapy for the skin and body. It is an age long pain relief practice. It has to do with the use of below freezing temperatures – locally (spot-cooling i.e. applying cold air to just a part of the body, say the face) or generally (engaging the whole body by immersing in cold water baths or cryotherapy chambers) - in medical therapy. The patient is subject to frigid, cold air that makes them shiver while in the cold chamber. It can be used to treat different types of tissue lesions.
Cryotherapy has to do with keeping the body in a cryotherapy chamber or basin with temperatures ranging from -148°F (-100 degrees Celsius) and -220°F (-140 degrees Celsius) for about two to five minutes.
Chiropractors, as well as physical therapists can benefit by installing a cryotherapy chamber from a reputed cryotherapy chambers manufacturer such as Cryobath. There are many patients lining up for the physical therapist. Installing a full body cryotherapy machine in your office will bring about amazing results – for the patients.
