Cryotherapy is a treatment that involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a brief period. It can be administered to a single body part or the entire body.
Local cryotherapy requires the use of a handheld device to administer nitrogen gas to a specific area of the body, such as the belly, neck, thighs, elbow, knee, and ankle. Some people use ice packs, coolant sprays, and ice massage.
Whole-body cryotherapy entails submerging the entire body in a cold chamber that uses nitrogen to cool it down. The extreme freezing temperature can be utilized to dissolve stubborn fat pockets, cure muscle pain, arthritis, and a variety of other ailments.
Cryotherapy eliminates fat cells by inhibiting their metabolism and hastening their disintegration. They are removed from the body by the lymphatic node after they have been eliminated.
It also reduces body and muscular discomfort by constricting and dilating instinctively. The related pain is relieved by the spastic movement of the muscles in the process.
