Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, helps decrease the activity of cells to reduce swelling and internal bleeding at the site of acute injury. Cold applied to the area decreases the flow of this fluid into the tissues and slows the release of chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. Cold decreases feeling in an area by reducing the ability of the nerve endings to conduct impulses. It may also reduce pain by countering the injury. Cooling the deep tissue also reduces muscle spasm by reducing the muscle's ability to maintain a contraction.
