Dr. James Fraser is your caring practitioner at Spine Spot Chiropractic in Basalt, CO. If you are tired of living with chronic muscle pain and inflammation, you should see him for cryotherapy. This innovative method of using extreme cold to promote healing has been used by athletes for years.
What Is Cryotherapy?
When you visit Dr. Fraser for chiropractic care, he provides several therapy options, such as cold therapy. The method involves using extremely cool temperatures for a very brief period. It targets specific areas, reducing muscle pain and inflammation. Endorphins, which are feel-good hormones your brain releases during exercise, are another benefit of the treatment. As a result, cryotherapy can provide a mood booster and can help anyone living with stress. During the treatment, your chiropractor will clean and prepare the area. He will apply a cold substance directly to your skin or use a probe for application and keep the area cool for several minutes.
What Can Cryotherapy in Basalt, CO, Help With?
You can go to a chiropractor for more than a manual adjustment. Even if that is part of your treatment plan, Dr. Fraser may realize you can benefit from soft tissue therapy, as well. Cold temperatures restrict the blood vessels, which helps reduce inflammation that develops in response to injuries. While inflammation is part of the healing process, the body shouldn’t get stuck on it, and reducing swelling can make mobility easier. Cryotherapy also reduces muscle spasms, which can be very painful. Reducing swelling in the muscles can make other chiropractic treatments, such as adjustments, easier and more effective. As the treatment lowers your oxidative stress, your body has more protection from cell damage. Oxidative stress has been linked to premature aging and various chronic diseases.
If you're tired of chronic or acute pain, need help healing, or are a very active person with sports injuries, then cryotherapy in Basalt, CO, may be for you. Dr. Fraser at Spine Spot Chiropractic will help you heal pain more holistically without surgery.
