Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy, sometimes known as cold therapy, is the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy. Cryotherapy can be used in many ways, including whole-body exposure for therapeutic health benefits, or locally to treat a variety of tissue lesions.
Cryotherapy is often used in an effort to prevent or relieve muscle pain, sprains and swelling after soft tissue damage or surgery. When a musculoskeletal injury occurs, the body sends signals to the inflammatory cells, macrophages, which release IGF-1. IGF-1 is a hormone-insulin-like growth factor which initiates the termination of damaged tissue. In some cases, this inflammatory response can be aggravated and cause increased swelling and edema, which can prolong the recovery process.
For decades, it has been commonly used to accelerate recovery in athletes after exercise. Cryotherapy decreases the temperature of tissue surfaces to minimize hypoxic cell death, edema accumulation, and muscle spasms. Minimising each or all of these ultimately alleviates discomfort and inflammation. It can involve a range of treatments, from the application of ice packs or immersion in ice baths (generally known as cold therapy), to the use of cold chambers.
Electric cryotherapy chambers are fully enclosed, walk-in rooms designed to expose the human body to ultra-low temperatures for 2–3 minutes, resulting in various therapeutic and health benefits.
The purpose of cryotherapy is to trigger the body's natural response to the extreme cold. Upon entering the cryo chamber, the extreme cold temperatures elicit a fight-or-flight response, causing increased levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, resulting in the feeling of extreme focus and euphoria. The process of thermoregulation occurs to protect vital organs from the cold temperatures, promoting increased blood flow and delivery of nutrients throughout the body via vasoconstriction and vasodilation of the blood vessels.
Electric cryo chambers use refrigeration as a cooling agent providing a safe, breathable environment, not exposing the client to any dangerous gases such as nitrogen.
Cryotherapy is a specific type of low-temperature treatment used to reduce inflammation and its associated pain.
Cryotherapy was developed in the 1970s by Japanese rheumatologist Toshima Yamaguchi and introduced to Europe, US and Australia in the 1980s and 1990s.
