Introduction to Cryotherapy

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration defines cryotherapy as “super-cooling” the body for medicinal purposes. There are many ways to use this cooling approach, from simple at-home techniques to more involved procedures.

Very low temperatures are used in cryotherapy to treat a variety of ailments. There are two forms of cryotherapy: targeted cryogenics and whole-body cryotherapy. In whole-body cryotherapy, patients are kept warm in a chamber or cabin that may attain temperatures as low as -200°F (-129°C) for a short period of time. Localized cryotherapy involves applying cold air or nitrogen dioxide to specific internal areas.

Freeze neck wraps have even been shown in research to be useful in easing migraine symptoms.
