Cryotherapy
Thermotherapy
Thermotherapy is a superficial heat treatment applied via moist or electrical heat packs. Heat therapy can increase metabolism, promote healing, relieve pain, and decrease muscle tone and joint stiffness. It is especially effective in relaxing overused muscles and reducing joint stiffness, making it a valuable treatment for various musculoskeletal conditions.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves the application of cold therapy, typically using ice packs, to treat acute injuries such as neck and back sprains, sports injuries, and sprained knees and ankles. Ice therapy causes vasoconstriction, decreasing blood flow to the injured area, which helps to reduce pain and swelling. Cryotherapy is an essential component of injury management and recovery, particularly in the acute phase.
