Why is Cryotherapy beneficial?
Cryotherapy combined with compression is a method increasingly recognized and used by surgeons for postoperative treatment or post- trauma:
-
reduction of the level of pain
-
anti-inflammatory effect (reduction of edema)
-
anti-hemorrhagic and analgesic effect.
Its use eases the patient's rehabilitation and leads to a quicker ROM recovery whilst decreasing the use of medication.
Cryotherapy is prohibited with:
-
Raynaud’s or other vasospastic disease
-
cold hypersensitivity or allergy
-
Arthritis, polyarthritis,diabetes, cryoglobulinaemia
Do not apply directly on irritated or abraded skin.
