Cyrotherapy

As the 21st century continues to produce more alternative health practices and holistic remedies for common medical ailments, cryotherapy may be one of the most widely used yet least understood alternative health solutions. Popularized by “Iceman” Wim Hof, the interest in cryotherapy developed from the idea that exposing the human body to extreme cold temperatures could promote healing, improve cardiovascular health, and boost the immune system.

Cryotherapy is a treatment that involves exposing your body to extremely cold temperatures for a short period of time. It has been used to help athletes recover from injuries, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health and wellness. At Midlothian Medical & Sports Center, we offer whole-body cryotherapy treatments to help our patients feel their best.

Cryotherapy can be beneficial for anyone who is looking to improve their overall health and wellness. It is particularly helpful for athletes who are recovering from injuries or looking to enhance their performance, as well as individuals who suffer from chronic pain, inflammation, or other health conditions. Our team at Midlothian Medical & Sports Center can help you determine if cryotherapy is right for you and create a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs.

During a cryotherapy treatment, your body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for a short period of time. This exposure triggers a number of physiological responses in the body, including the release of endorphins and the activation of the immune system. It can also help to reduce inflammation and improve circulation, which can aid in the healing of injuries and promote overall wellness.
