One of the more exciting treatments that is emerging in alternative medicine is cryotherapy. While it has been used for years in the treatment of cancer, researchers are now finding many more uses for the procedure.
There are some magnificent benefits that regular exposure to cold can have on your health. Cryotherapy – or cold thermogenesis – aids in weight loss, reduce your risk of diabetes and helps to thwart many other chronic diseases.
Cryotherapy exposes the body to sub-zero temperatures. It also promotes a natural anti-inflammatory response in the body. It releases endorphins, reduces pain and promotes overall health.
In today’s alternative medicine, cryotherapy is not considered a medical procedure but is seen as a non-invasive alternative for individuals seeking a quicker recovery from medical procedures and improved health.
There are many benefits to utilizing cryotherapy. It promotes weight loss by increasing the body’s metabolism; reduces symptoms of depression by as much as 50 percent; provides temporary relief from some forms of arthritis; and aids in the treatment of migraine headaches.
Cryotherapy has also been known to:
- Strengthen joint tissue
- Increase blood circulation
- Contribute to the healing of joint and muscle injury
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve muscle function and strength
If you are suffering from any of the ailments listed above you would do well to consult your physician, chiropractor or physical therapist about the benefits of cryotherapy.
