What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a treatment in which the body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for a certain length of time. This is done by using ice packs, ice baths or cold chambers, or by using liquid nitrogen. The skin temperature is lowered which causes the skin to send signals to the brain to send blood to the body’s core. This enables the blood to become enriched with oxygen and nutrients which then flows back through the body once it has warmed up. It has been used to treat pain, mental health issues and even to keep skin looking more youthful. As long as the procedure is done properly, there are no lasting side effects, however, there are many benefits.
