What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy basically means cold therapy. Facilities that offer cryotherapy will provide you with a cryo-chamber. You enter this chamber and are exposed to temperatures that are colder than negative 200 degrees Fahrenheit. You remain in the chamber for 2-4 minutes.
What Is the Purpose of This Treatment?
Cryotherapy has been used for pain relief and muscle recovery for some time now. The idea behind cryotherapy is the same as icing a sore muscle. It is only recently that cryotherapy for weight loss has become popular. Cryotherapy is effective for weight management because of the effect it has on metabolism.
Exposing your body to these extreme temperatures will speed up your metabolism for hours afterward. This metabolic boost, along with better eating habits and increased physical activity, can help you lose weight.
Cryotherapy is not a substitution for proper nutrition and physical activity, but rather, an added boost to your weight loss plan which can kick-start your weight loss journey.
Is Cryotherapy Safe?
You will need to meet with your chiropractor to be evaluated for this type of treatment. Your provider will be able to assess if you are in good enough health to benefit from this type of therapy. This treatment will not be suitable for some individuals.
Other Benefits
There are other benefits associated with this treatment as well. Many people report an improved mood, better energy, and better sleep, as well as healthier hair, nails, and skin.
