What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy simply means the therapeutic use of cold. Cold application may be used during musculoskeletal injury care to temporarily reduce tissue temperature and help manage symptoms such as pain and swelling.
Following an automobile accident, your Chambers Medical Group provider will evaluate your injuries and determine whether cryotherapy or another therapeutic modality is appropriate for your individual condition.
