Cryotherapy

If you have ever suffered from muscle spasms, you know how uncomfortable they can be. While medications may sometimes relieve pain, they may have unwanted side effects. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we are happy to offer our patients cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy works by applying cold compresses to the skin. Cryotherapy can be used to treat muscle spasms. In addition, it can also be an effective treatment for sprains, strains and soft tissue injuries. Several things happen in the body with the application of cold compresses or ice. The blood vessels constrict, and the skin temperature drops. Painful areas are also numbed. Cryotherapy can also help reduce swelling and inflammation, which in turn promotes healing.

A few benefits to using cryotherapy to reduce muscle spasms and pain include:

Cost: Cryotherapy is inexpensive, especially compared to other types of treatment for pain, such as medication and injections.



Few if any side effects: The skin can become red from the cold, but cryotherapy usually has very low rates of side effects.



Convenient: Cryotherapy can also be used at home to reduce discomfort and muscle spasms.

At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we believe in providing chiropractic care and services, which can improve your health and overall wellbeing. We specialize in treating a variety of problems including back and neck pain, headaches, disc problems and other causes of chronic pain.

Dr. Christopher Brill
