The Benefits of using Cryotherapy for
sports injuries

2. Cryotherapy – also called cold therapy – has been used for many years to treat
the after effects of a soft tissue musculoskeletal injury. If you’ve ever twisted
your ankle or had to do post-op rehabilitation for a knee ligament repair, you
may have been advised to follow the RICE (Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation)
regimen.
Traditional ice application methods typically include use of an ice bucket (doesn’t
work on many joint injuries, such as the back or hip), wrapping the injury with a
plastic bag filled with crushed ice, or using an ace wrap over the ice-filled bag to
try and provide some compression along with the cryotherapy.
These methods are inconvenient, messy, irritating and hard to stick with over
time. And when you don’t stay with a regimen of cryotherapy and compression,
you recover more slowly from your sports injury.
Fortunately for active sports lovers, technology advances have greatly improved
cryotherapy systems to deliver more therapeutic benefits and therefore speed
your healing and return to an active life.

3. Cryotherapy controls swelling. Following an injury, your body immediately triggers
an inflammatory response - this means increased blood flow, edema build-up, and
movement of leukocytes (white blood cells) to the soft tissue injury site.
Our white blood cells are important defenders of our body, resisting attacks by
viruses or bacteria. However, they also can cause cellular injury and necrosis and
promote swelling.

Cryotherapy systems are safe and non-invasive. Many studies have concluded that
cold therapy is effective and harmless and has minimal complications. The main
concern is keeping the temperature within a specific range, so that very low
temperature treatments are avoided. Too-cold therapy can cause serious tissue
side-effects, such as frostbite and nerve damage. That's why our system used in
the hot-ice treatment rooms that lets you preset the temperature of your cold
therapy treatment is a good choice.

4. Cold pressed treatments have evolved from a bag of ice
Cryotherapy systems today
go way beyond a bag of
crushed ice or frozen peas.

do therapy nearly
anywhere, anytime.

5. Decreased pain
Reduced swelling
Decreased muscle spasms
Reduced edema formation
Reduced metabolic activity and oxygen demand,
improving tissue healing response
More efficient and rapid removal of heat from the
injury site, therefore more effective temperature
reduction
Reduced or eliminated need for pain medication
post-injury, allowing improved focus on rehab
needed to return to work and play
Enhanced lymphatic drainage, key to better healing
Increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to injury
site, speeding recovery of damaged tissue
Improved surface contact of cold therapy to injury
site, providing deeper and longer-lasting cooling
effects
Quicker recovery from intense workouts or physical
activity, eliminating downtime while sore tissues
rebound

7. Surveys of patients who have used cryotherapy systems
report excellent results:
• Over 90 percent say it helped them return to
work or daily activities sooner
• Over 94 percent say it reduced the amount of
pain medication they took or allowed them to
stop the meds sooner
• Over 94 percent say it provided a superior
post-op recovery than previous surgery using
a different cold therapy system

8. Cryotherapy in Brief
Cryotherapy works in a variety of ways
to help speed the healing process after
a sports injury:
Reduces blood flow to the injured area,
which helps to reduce swelling;
Acts as a pain-killer by numbing the
affected area;
Reduces muscle spasms;
Decreases tissue damage by reducing
metabolism, thus lessening the tissues’
need for oxygen and limiting secondary
tissue injury caused by compromised
circulation.
