Pain Management

Painful Conditions That Can Be Addressed Include:

• Acute pain and acute swelling (sprains, fractures and, ligament tears)
• Post workout aches and pains (aids recovery)
• Post surgical pain and swelling (aids recovery and facilitates intense physiotherapy)
• Chronic pain (arthritis and , gout)
• Face pain (migraines/inflammatory skin conditions)

Localised cryotherapy is used to treat problem areas both from the “inside out” as well as from the “outside in” by reducing the inflammatory reactions that produce sustained pain and prevent healing.  

It works by reducing blood flow to the affected area, which can significantly reduce inflammation and swelling that causes pain, especially around a joint or a tendon. It can temporarily reduce nerve activity, which also helps relieve pain.

A temperature  of up to -10C can be reached by our device, and therefore local area treatment only needs to be conducted for 10-15 minutes, with benefits far exceeding many hours of icing.
