Cryotherapy: Your ultimate weight-loss partner & wellness guru

A healthy diet and a steady workout plan are the most important factors in achieving successful weight-loss, but an increase in metabolism is required for permanent results. With repeated treatments you will overcome weight-loss plateaus and stimulate your metabolism, which increases your caloric burn. When the outer layer of your skin is shocked with extreme cold temperatures, your body responds by speeding up to literally “warm you up.” That increased speed translates to a boost in your metabolism and “burns” calories as you return to your normal, warmer body temperature. This accelerated metabolism lasts for approximately 5-8 hours and can burn an additional 500-800 calories during that time. Here are some of the factors on why Cryotherapy should be partnered with your weight loss plan:

Cryotherapy: a Holistic Approach for Chronic Pain Management

The use of cold for the benefit of health is found world wide from athletic locker rooms to doctor’s offices. Could cryotherapy benefit you? We believe the answer is Yes, 100%!

Cryotherapy is the "I" component of R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, and elevation). This is a treatment recommended for the home care of many injuries, particularly ones caused by sports. The analgesic (pain-relieving) effects of cryotherapy are related to three specific changes in the body.

First, the nerve signal transmission is slowed. Reducing the amount of nerve signals getting through to the brain might relieve pain in some individuals.

Second, nor-epinephrine levels increase after cold immersion. This stress-induced chemical reduces pain sensitivity as a protective mechanism in times of life-or-death situations.

Lastly, cryotherapy can reduce pain intensity and frequency by reducing inflammation.

Cryotherapy is a great pain management alternative when the following are considered:

1. Cryotherapy is an all-natural treatment.
2. When medication is no longer effective.
3. Side effects from medication are too great.
4. Alternative to surgery.

A session of Cryotherapy immediately after exercise has been proven to enhanced muscular recovery by constraining the inflammatory process. Regular use of Cryotherapy promotes anti-inflammatory properties, which decreases recovery time by up to 50%, to improve ability to train, recover and perform. Adding cryotherapy to your regimen will help keep your body in peak physical shape and give you an edge on your opponents. This therapy allows for more intense, higher volume training; enabling you to maximize your full potential and enjoy these benefits:

·        Runner's knee

·        Tendonitis

·        Sprains

·        Arthritis pain

·        Pain and swelling after a hip or knee replacement

·        To treat pain or swelling under a cast or a splint

·        Lower back pain

Experts believe that cryotherapy can reduce swelling, which is tied to pain. It may also reduce sensitivity to pain. Cryotherapy may be particularly effective when you are managing pain with swelling, especially around a joint or tendon. Contact us today to learn how Chill Cryosauna can help your recovery process be a pain free and non-invasive journey.

Clients suffering from chronic conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and even Lyme disease, find that with routine Cryotherapy sessions, their pain and inflammation are dramatically reduced.  The skin exposure to the extreme temperatures triggers the release of anti-inflammatory molecules and endorphin's.  Depending on the condition and severity, clients should initially take 3-4 treatments in close succession (separated by 1-2 days) to maximize results.  After that, clients can establish a routine spaced further apart to maintain and improve on their results (e.g. once every week or two weeks). With Whole Body Cryotherapy, clients can experience increased mobility and improved quality of life.

History of Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy has come a long way from when it was first discovered by Dr. Yamaguchi in 1978. He drew on the idea of using cold to treat injuries and transformed it into the revolutionary medical treatment that is taking the world by storm today. While the concept of putting something cold on an injury has existed since the dawn of time, Cryotherapy takes this approach much further.

Dr. Yamaguchi of Japan started using extremely cold temperatures to treat his patients who suffered from rheumatic diseases. He noticed that the treatment was extremely successful not just for rheumatic diseases, but for a number of other conditions as well. Dr. Yamaguchi discovered that rapidly cooling the surface of the skin significantly reduced the soreness and pain his patients were experiencing in their joints due to the rapid decrease of temperature of the skin’s surface leading to a release of endorphins which led to a decrease in pain.

Dr. Yamaguchi and his team came to the conclusion that using a cryosauna to rapidly cool the surface of the skin was much more effective than immersing a patient in an ice bath. While ice baths have been the previous method for treating patients suffering from pain of any kind, while it was discovered that ice baths actually did more harm than good. The benefits of whole body Cryotherapy over ice baths stem from the fact that in an ice bath the cold penetrates below the skin which in turn damages both the skin and the muscles. This makes it makes the muscles more susceptible to tearing and prolongs the healing progress in the long run. After Dr. Yamaguchi discovered these benefits his revolutionary Cryotherapy technology was brought to Europe to be refined. The research that ensued resulted in Cryotherapy being used for the whole body rather than a specific body part.

Over the past 3 decades numerous studies have confirmed the benefits of whole body Cryotherapy, which were initially researched by Dr. Frieke in Germany. Today Cryotherapy has become the go to method for recovery from sports injuries, chronic pain, and inflammation. It has even been used to effectively treat cancer.

Cryotherapy is no longer just a treatment for pain, it has become part of a holistic approach with numerous positive effects on the body including weight loss, a production of collagen in the skin, an increase in energy, and boosting the metabolism. The prospects of Cryotherapy continue to grow everyday as more and more scientific research is conducted.

Autoimmune Disease Treatment with Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy has been used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. In normal working conditions, the immune system is meant to protect you by identifying foreign substances and informing the body’s defense system (antibodies) to ward off these substances. When you have an autoimmune disease, your immune systems fails to correctly differentiate such unsafe substances from healthy body cells, and causes the body to attack itself.

People suffering from conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, and osteoarthritis are advised to seek cryotherapy as soon as possible to ease their symptoms and return to normal life. Overall, autoimmune diseases are common, affecting more than 23.5 million Americans. They are a leading cause of death and disability. Yet some autoimmune diseases are rare, while others, such as Hashimoto’s disease, affect many people.
In a 2000 study on Whole Body Cryotherapy and the treatment of rheumatoid disease, patients reported a significant reduction in pain levels. The pain reduction lasted an average 90 minutes and participants hailed cryotherapy as a critical part of their rehabilitation program.

WBC treatments work by subjecting the patient’s skin to controlled levels of gasiform liquid nitrogen. The treatment is conducted in a device called a cryochamber. During a session, bursts of nitrogen are circulated around the chamber, directed away from the patient’s skin. The bursts serve to maintain the therapeutic temperature. In a typical 3 minute session, 10 second bursts are released with 20-30 second pauses between them. The ambient temperature in the chamber is maintained at -200 to -250°F throughout the course of treatment.

During Cryotherapy, the brain sends signals to all parts of the body via the nervous system to determine if and what extent different parts of the body are compromised. This helps the body allocate enough resources to different parts of the body. If you attended your therapy in the early stages of infection, your brain will discover the malfunctions early enough enabling the body to re-adjust before the damage is life-threatening. Once your brain is “re-focused,” it will realize that your body is fighting against itself and will command the antibodies to stop killing your healthy cells.
