Cryotherapy explained

The Subzero Cryotherapy device uses pressurized CO2 gas at -110oF to target a local area of the body and cause "thermal shock". The sudden decrease in temperature rapidly activates the body's healing responses via Four Principal Effects:

-Vasomotor

Vasoconstriction during treatment causes local blood to leave the area carrying away inflammatory waste. Vasodilation immediately after treatment allows blood enriched with oxygen and nutrients to rush to the site.

-Analgesic

The initial thermal shock slows nerve signal transmission to and from the brain decreasing pain. The vasoconstrictive response, activation of thermoreceptors and desensitization of nociceptors collectively contribute to pain reduction through decreased inflammation, numbing sensation, and endorphin release.

-Muscle Relaxant

Reduces muscle spasms and promotes healing by slowing nerve activity.

-Anti Inflammatory

Reduces the temperature and metabolic rate of wounded tissue to cause vasoconstriction leading to decreased blood flow and reducing edema. The bodies natural homeostasis response to cold kicks in following vasoconstriction, which is vasodilation. This rush of new blood to the affected area delivers oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells necessary for tissue repair and regeneration.
