Cryotherapy Questions, Answered
What is medical cryotherapy?
Medical cryotherapy is the therapeutic use of cold temperatures on targeted areas of the body. It is used to reduce inflammation and swelling, ease pain, support muscle recovery, calm nerve irritation and treat certain skin lesions.
Is this the same as whole-body cryotherapy?
No. The cryotherapy we offer is medical cryotherapy applied to specific areas, not whole-body aesthetic cryotherapy. Treatment is focused on the condition you are being seen for.
What conditions can cryotherapy help with?
Cryotherapy can be beneficial for joint pain such as arthritis, tendinitis and bursitis. It can also help with muscle sprains and strains, neuropathic pain such as pinched nerves and sciatica, certain localized inflammatory conditions, and skin lesions like warts, skin tags and actinic keratoses.
What is the difference between localized cryotherapy and cryosurgery?
Localized cryotherapy applies cold directly to a specific area using a cryoprobe or liquid nitrogen spray. Cryosurgery is a more intensive form used to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue, such as warts or certain skin lesions.

Your provider will assess your condition and medical history, then recommend the most appropriate approach. If cryotherapy is not the best fit, we can discuss other options, such as trigger point injections.
