Localized Treatment
-
Localized Cryotherapy treatments are targeted to specific areas of the body where individuals are experiencing pain or inflammation.
-
This could include joints, muscles, or other localized regions.
-
The primary goal is to provide pain relief: The extreme cold temperatures may help numb pain receptors, reduce inflammation, and contribute to the release of endorphins, promoting a sense of well-being.
-
Localized Cryotherapy also has anti-inflammatory effects: The controlled cold exposure may help constrict blood vessels, minimizing inflammation and swelling in the treated areas.
