FAQs
- Can cryotherapy help after surgery?
- Yes. At Medical & Sports Massage in Sandy Springs, localized cryotherapy helps reduce post-surgical swelling and protects healing tissue. Cold application calms the inflammatory response and makes follow-up massage safer and more effective. This combination often shortens recovery time and helps clients regain mobility sooner.
- Does cryotherapy help with tendonitis or bursitis?
- Absolutely. Cold therapy narrows blood vessels and reduces the fluid buildup that drives pain in tendonitis and bursitis. Once the inflammation is controlled, massage can restore movement and prevent compensation patterns. Many clients notice relief in stubborn areas like the shoulder or knee when cryotherapy is added to their care plan.
- Can cryotherapy help with chronic conditions like arthritis?
- Yes, when applied correctly. Localized cryotherapy reduces joint inflammation and makes movement less painful. For arthritis in the knees, shoulders, or hips, pairing cryotherapy with massage helps maintain range of motion and ease daily stiffness. Sessions are tailored to avoid overcooling sensitive joints, making it safe and effective for long-term care.
