Local cryotherapy is a 5-10 minute treatment used to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling in specific areas of your body. This localized treatment stimulates cold receptors on a specific site triggering a strong anti-inflammatory response in that area. Distinct muscles, tendons, ligament and skin can often require more attention than whole body cryotherapy can provide due to acute pain or inflammation. Local cryotherapy provides that attention and relieves pain and inflammation in just minutes.
