Cryotherapy

Reduce Pain and Feel Better with Cryotherapy

Please note: this is a product that is available for purchase only.

Cryotherapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses cold temperatures to help reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in injured or irritated tissues. In clinical settings, cryotherapy is commonly delivered through cold packs, specialized cooling systems, or targeted cold therapy devices applied directly to the affected area. Cold therapy works by constricting blood vessels and slowing nerve activity, which can help decrease inflammation and temporarily relieve pain. Cryotherapy is provided at Bremner Orthopaedics following injuries, after physical activity, or as part of a rehabilitation program.
