America Cryo - Subzero Cryotherapy for Humans | Subzero Aesthetic

Image
  The use of CO2 at -110°F under high pressure causes the skin temperature to fall from 89.6°F to 39.6°F within 30 seconds this reaction is known as a : thermal shock This activates the cutaneous neuroreceptors, generating an immediate remote corrective reflex in the organism that activates the NEUROVEGETATIVE system. This produces several effects: on endocrinal and enzymatic production , an inhibitive effect on pain receptors through the reduction of sodium pump activity, the relaying of nervous impulses, the activation of the vasomotor reflex of the vascular, and lymphatic systems. There is an additional, muscle relaxant effect, observable in the reduction in muscle tone. Four Principal Effects Anti-inflammatory Muscle relaxant Vasomotor Analgesic Subzero Aesthetic A simple, fast and sage treatment option for health and beauty Wrinkle reduction Anti-inflammatory Antioxidant effect Fat reduction Subzero is one of the most effective cryotherapy solutions for your aesthetic needs.

Subzero Cryotherapy | Subzero for Rapid Treatment - America Cryo

Image
  Subzero Cryotherapy utilizes CO2 at -110 °F (-78C) at very high pressure to deliver very targeted and extremely effective treatment. The treatment time is short and can produce immediate pain relief in your horse’s joints, including the hock, stifle, back, foot, pastern, and fetlock. Subzero cryotherapy reduces inflammation that can sometimes hinder movement and improve the range of motion in the legs’ tendons and ligaments. Many equine veterinarians that practice natural horse care use joint supplements and horse liniments, in conjunction with cryotherapy, to provide a more holistic and drug-free treatment option. Compared to an ice boot or ice bath, targeted Subzero Cryotherapy treatment offers immediate results. When aimed directly at the injured or inflamed areas, there is an immediate reduction in tissue temperature. This reduction triggers an internal response that increases circulation, slows nerve conduction, and alters sensory receptors, ultimately reducing inflammation...

​Cold Compression - Reduce Narcotics with Cold Compression

Image
  Injury, surgeries, and muscle strain happen to almost everyone at some point or another – athletes and average people alike. Whether you sustain a serious injury (like an ACL tear) while engaged in an endurance sport like cycling, running, or swimming, or you pull a muscle in your back taking the garbage out, you’ll need some form of pain relief. Strong medications are effective, but they also bring with them unwanted side effects like fatigue, stomach upset, even potential addiction. No one has time for life to stop while dealing with the grogginess produced by powerful pain pills . Many times people assume this is their only option other than just pushing through the pain and dealing with it until their injury heals. This simply isn’t the case. A Better Pain Relief Method The old reliable RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) method of healing from an injury or surgery certainly works, but getting an ice pack to stay on an injury can be a challenge depending upon the body pa...

How it Works The diffuser streams high-pressure , carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at 70 bars pressure and -110°F to the affected site on the horse’s body. This creates a thermal shock that immediately activates the s...

Cold Compression Soccer - Cold Compression Therapy | Cold Compression

  During championship games, medical staff faces as much of a challenge as the athletes do. The upcoming 2016 UEFA Championship would be a case in point. In order to be able to treat the entire team, they need to use any time-saving measures they have at their disposal. High-performance, flexible technology is beneficial, and it needs to be ready to use in an instant, whether on the field, in the locker room or the treatment room. Cold compression cryotherapy can meet these needs, as it also stimulates smooth muscles and blood vessel walls. While its application can be impractical, the ice pack still plays a significant role in the RICE treatment protocol (rest, ice, compression, elevation) used after any traumatic injury. Its analgesic effect is incontestable (skin temperature must drop to 53 - 55°F), and because the cold temperatures slow down cell metabolism, it also has anti-inflammatory effects. It is, however, not very practical. For the treatment to be effective, correct pl...

Equine Radial Shockwave | Equine Shockwave Therapy - America Cryo

Image
  Equine radial shockwave provides a highly effective treatment for orthopedic and soft tissue injuries in equine sports medicine. Premier treatment for suspensory injuries and ‘kissing spines’ Rapid pain relief and stimulation of cellular regeneration Five probe options enable varied treatment option Acoustic wave 100x higher energy than ultrasound imaging Achieves ‘bundled wave’ penetration of up to 6 cm Handpiece supports over 2 million shockwave ‘shots’ In veterinary or rehabilitation settings, Shockwave addresses musculoskeletal disorders and returns the horse to work within an optimal timeframe. Shockwave is the leading choice of veterinarians, trainers and therapists for ligament and tendon injury, and post-work recovery in elite equine athletes. How it Works The radial shockwave therapy device uses compressed air to accelerate a projectile through a tube, creating a low intensity primary wave as it impacts on the applicator. A parabolic reflector then creates a secondary ...

Hip Replacement and Cold Compression - America Cryo

Image
  According to the CDC ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ) over 330,000 people over the age of 45 undergo hip replacement each year. Experts attribute this staggering number in large part to an increase in the incidence of degenerative arthritis, leading to a higher number of younger people choosing to have the surgery in order to experience better mobility and less pain. As with any surgery, the recovery can be difficult. Because this is an invasive surgery, typically requiring an incision of about eight inches in length, pain levels may be high and mobility low for a period of months following the surgery. Some things you can do to protect the new joint and speed healing are: Sitting in a straight, firm and supportive chair; do not use recliners Avoiding stairs whenever possible, using them at a maximum of once or twice per day if necessary Keeping walking areas clear of clutter to avoid trips and falls Installing an elevated seat on the toilet in order to prevent the ...
