About This Treatment
What is Ice Pack Cryotherapy?
Ice pack cryotherapy is a simple yet effective treatment that applies cold to injured or inflamed tissues. Cold application constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and inflammation. It also numbs nerve endings, providing immediate pain relief. This therapy is particularly effective for acute injuries, post-treatment soreness, and managing inflammatory conditions.
At Commerce Chiropractic Center, Dr. Shayda Mankooei integrates ice pack cryotherapy into comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs and wellness goals.
