Moist Heat/Cryotherapy

Moist Heat & Cryotherapy

As an addition to other techniques, your doctor may use hot or cold therapy to aid in your healing.  Moist heat penetrates tissues more quickly and produces better benefits (increased blood flow, increased muscle relaxation, decreased pain) over dry heat.  Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is used more often directly after an injury (such as after a car accident) to keep an area from becoming too inflamed. 

Both heat and ice are applied in one of our dimly-lit, calming treatment bays, complete with aromatherapy and soothing music to help you relax.
