Cryotherapy is a pain treatment which
makes use of localized and general use of lowered temperatures I order to
deaden an irritated nerve. This therapy is used mostly in case of the treatment
for variety of malignant and benign tissue damage which are medically termed as
lesions. Also, cryotherapy is used as a method of treating localized areas of
some cancers such as prostate cancer and to treat abnormal skin cells by
dermatologists. The word ‘cryotherapy’ comes from the Greek word ‘Cryo’ which
means cold and therapy meaning cure, and it has been used ever since the
seventeenth century. The primary motive of cryotherapy
is to reduce the cell’s growth and reproduction, improve cellular survival, reduce
inflammation, ease out the pain and spasm, and persuade the constriction of
blood vessels (also known as vasoconstriction). Also, at the time of extreme
temperatures, kill cells by crystallizing the cytosol which is the fluid inside
the cells and the method is also termed as intracellular fluid (ICF). The most
vital use of the term refers to surgical treatment, particularly called
cryosurgery and ice pack therapy.
Conditions that need cryotherapy
Cryotherapy
is used to cure and treat conditions which involve irritation and soreness of
an isolated nerve. Ordinarily, the conditions would refer to benign nerve
growths a.k.a. neuromas and pinched nerves (nerve entrapments). However,
certain particular conditions would include cluneal nerve entrapment, nerve irritation
between the ribs (intercostal neuralgia), hypogastric neuromas, interdigital
neuromas, ilioinguinal neuroma, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment.
In simple terms, many forms of nerve entrapment can be treated with
cryotherapy.
Cryotherapy
reduces nerve irritation, however many a time cryotherapy leaves abnormal
sensations, such as redness, irritation of the skin and numbness and tingly
feeling; although, these effects are temporary. The cryotherapy
unite sales market states that minimally invasive procedures and the
upsurge occurrence of skin, prostate and cervical cancer and other are
cumulatively making this therapy gain more popularity.
