Holistic Healing: Inflammation Reduced with Cryotherapy

Holistic Healing: Inflammation Reduced with Cryotherapy

Spraining your knee, straining your back, or suffering any similar injury is never fun. Whether this injury occurred while exercising or not, leaving it slowly heal on its own might not always be the right thing to do. For instance, if you sprained your wrist and the pain is unbearable with inflammation increasing, you would probably want to alleviate the pain and reduce the swelling. A good way to do that is by doing a cryotherapy treatment, which uses holistic healing to treat the pain and inflammation.

How Inflammation Occurs

Inflammation is the body’s way of dealing with injuries. In fact, it occurs when white blood cells toward the site of injury. Fluids always accompany white blood cells, and it is those fluids that cause the irksome swelling and create pressure on the site of injury. And while those fluids are essential for healing, they can become bad when they take too long to go away or get worse.

How Cryotherapy Reduces Inflammation and Pain

Cryotherapy treatment is the cool new trend where people get inside an icy chamber for two to three minutes and reap tons of health and beauty benefits. The reason for that is the fact that cold temperatures have a numbing effect on soft tissues since they can slow down the spreading of nerve pain signals which essentially let our brain know that we have an injury. Thus, when nerve pain signals are halted, the body can’t feel as much pain.

At the same time, when you get an injury, there is an increased blood flow in the site of injury so that more white blood cells can defend that area. And when you have an increased blood flow, the extra fluids create that inflammation. However, using cold temperatures decreases blood flow, which decreases inflammation. Thus, using cryotherapy treatment is a great holistic healing method for decreasing pain and reducing inflammation caused by an injury.

Just like putting on an ice pack but better, cryotherapy can help heal your body. Lots of athletes suffer from sports injuries and inflammation, and when they use cryotherapy, the pain goes away, the inflammation is reduced so that they don’t feel the aching pressure anymore, and they heal faster and can go on with their sport.

Some athletes and even people who do intense workouts use cryotherapy treatment to help their bodies heal after a workout. Instead of feeling sore and waiting days for the pain to slowly go away, they rely on this holistic healing method to quickly help them get better in order for them to continue doing what they do best.

Cryotherapytreatment is the best cool, new way to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain naturally. It is a fantastic holistic healing method that helps the body get better quickly without negative side effects.

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.
