(Cryotherapy) Ice Therapy

Cryotherapy is a term that describes the application of ice, ice massage and cold compresses to reduce the temperature of tissues directly on or below the surface of the skin.

At Wasserman Chiropractic, we typically use ice therapy to manage acute injuries or recent eruptions of chronic conditions experienced by our patients. By cooling the affected tissues, ice therapy offers a wide array of soothing benefits, including:

• Reducing post-traumatic swelling and inflammation.
• Constricting blood vessels.
• Numbing painful areas.
• Relaxing muscle spasms.
