See why experts recommend cryotherapy for pain management instead of traditional methods

Chill cryotherapy plunges your body in freezing air vapor that induces a false state of hypothermia. Your body reacts accordingly, going into “fight or flight” mode and triggers the release of anti-inflammatory enzymes and endorphins into your bloodstream.

Pain Relief and Management

• Cryotherapy reduces both local and systematic types of inflammation through the brain’s process of releasing endorphins and anti-inflammatory enzymes into the blood. Inflammation is a major source of chronic illnesses and pain, and this is greatly reduced with the cryotherapy process.

• Cryotherapy also triggers the release of a specific endorphin called norepinephrine, which is an analgesic. This means it is a natural painkiller and works to ease muscle soreness, inflammation, and other types of pain.

• Moreover, you also experience pain-gate and dermatomal confusion. This is when cold sensors in your skin travel to your brain, beating pain sensors. Therefore, the feeling of pain is reduced. This type of dermatomal confusion can be explained by the sensation you get when you apply a cold vapor rub on your skin. The feeling of pain competes with another sensation of feeling cold, which distracts from the pain itself.
