COLD THERAPY & POST-OPERATIVE BRACES

CRYOTHERAPY/ COLD THERAPY
Cold therapy is a valuable treatment following injury or surgery. Some of the benefits include:
  • Less pain
  • Less swelling
  • Faster return of range of motion
  • Faster recovery

Many patients find cold therapy much more convenient and comfortable than gel pads or the application of ice by delivering a constant, comfortable temperature. The cold therapy pads are designed to conform to injured areas, delivering cold therapy directly to the joint where it's needed.
We offer the cold therapy units in two models, an electrical or manual unit.
