Whether you’re an amateur tennis player or a professional cyclist, it’s essential to treat any sports-related strains, sprains, or other injuries before they progress. Part of being active is keeping up with recovery, so you can stay in the game no matter what comes your way. Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses cold temperature to target areas of pain and swelling. It is a popular treatment for athletes coping with acute or chronic sports-related injuries. This treatment can be administered in many different ways, including whole-body cryotherapy, which involves immersing the whole body in a cold chamber for roughly two to four minutes. This intervention has become widely used in sports recovery as an alternative to an ice bath, in part because cold therapy helps reduce swelling to speed up recovery. However, traditional cryotherapy treatment can provide a significant amount of discomfort, as it requires subjecting yourself to negative 200-300 degree temperature. At BodyPro Chiropractic and Sports Medicine, Dr. Arash Noor and his team use Cryofos cold therapy, which involves isolating a site on the body for cryotherapy treatment.
The cutting-edge Cryofos treatment is administered with a handheld device, focusing on specific areas of concern and thereby eliminating full-body discomfort. Pain and soreness can be instantly alleviated with Cryofos technology, getting you back to your peak performance in no time. This treatment is administered using a Cryofos machine, which sprays the skin with hyperbaric CO2 gas to provide instant and long-lasting pain relief. If you have pain or soreness around joints or specific areas on your body, Cryofos can target these areas with thermal shock. The machine cools skin to temperatures between two and four degrees in under 30 seconds, which stimulates the body’s natural analgesic responses without causing discomfort or shock to the body.
