What is Localized Cryotherapy?

Local cryotherapy uses a directed stream of extremely cold nitrogen gas to treat injuries and relieve pain. The procedure was first widely used in Europe in the 1980s to treat arthritis and other types of chronic pain. As more people recognized its benefits, the treatment’s popularity spread to the United States and other countries.

Local cryotherapy is administered with a special wand-like device that targets painful areas of the body. A stream of liquid nitrogen gas causes superficial skin temperatures to drop rapidly, constricting the blood vessels of targeted tissues and shunting blood and fluids away from the region. After just a few minutes of local cryo’s freezing treatment, the body slowly warms the targeted tissues with fresh oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood, to promote the healing of painful and damaged tissues.

Local cryotherapy is an ideal treatment for anyone with pain and inflammation in specific regions of the body. You can also enjoy whole body cryotherapy to treat post-exercise muscle soreness, fatigue, sleep disorders and a variety of other conditions affecting the entire body.

Who Can Benefit from Local Cryotherapy
Treatment?

Anyone who suffers from chronic pain due to arthritis, injuries or illness can benefit from localized cryotherapy. Patients recovering from surgery on a knee, hip or shoulder joint often have cryotherapy treatments to alleviate pain and speed healing. Athletes use cryotherapy to recover from training, prevent injuries, and speed the healing process after an injury.

InVita Wellness offers both local and whole body cryotherapy (WBC), to meet the needs of our clients. Common areas for local cryotherapy treatment include:

Upper back

Lower back

Knee

Shoulder

Elbow

Hip

Ankle

Wrist

If you have hypertension, a heart condition, liver or kidney disease or generally poor health, you may not be an ideal candidate for cryotherapy. Pregnant women should avoid cryotherapy. If you have a bleeding disorder, a tumor or other serious health conditions, you should discuss your condition with a cryotherapy specialist before seeking treatment.

Localized cryotherapy is often combined with whole body cryotherapy to heal specific areas of the body. The most commonly treated areas include the upper and lower back, shoulders, neck, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles and hips.

What to Expect During Your Localized
Cryotherapy Session

Prior to your localized cryotherapy treatment, you will need to disrobe enough to expose the treatment area. You will be provided with a coverup for privacy. Some patients prefer to shower before the procedure, but it is not essential

A cryotherapy wand only delivers cold nitrogen gas to the treatment area – it does not cool the whole body. The procedure is fast and painless, although you may experience a slight chill. Some people report a sudden mood boost that lasts for several hours, thanks to the release of endorphins in response to the sudden temperature drop.

Most patients feel relaxed during their local cryotherapy treatment. After the procedure, patients often feel better all over due to increased blood flow. Some report noticeably less pain after their first treatment. However, cryotherapy specialists recommend multiple treatments within a short period of time to achieve optimal results. The duration of ime between treatments depends on the severity and location of your pain or injury.

Inessa, who owns and operate this practice, has been wonderful with her care to me for IV therapy as well as others, as I have witnessed. Her gentle touch and attentiveness has not gone unnoticed. There is a reason why her clients keep returning and her practice has grown over the years. Yes, IV therapy, in and of itself is great for various treatments, but what makes the difference is her service is A-1. You can see that Inessa's heart is in her practice. She not only believes in it, she has great bed-side manners, and her clients keep coming back. No wonder she is always busy. I have been to several IV therapy spots in the city and none compares to InVita Wellness. Thank you Inessa for your care. I wish you continued success in your practice.

I have nothing but appreciation and admiration following today's IV therapy session. The level of care I received was simply outstanding and surpassed all my expectations. In particular, I would like to commend my nurse, Inessa, for her exceptional skills, gentle touch, and overall professionalism. I have frequently found IV therapy sessions to be stressful due to the difficulty many nurses face in locating my veins. However, Inessa has managed to change this narrative entirely. From the very start, Inessa made me feel comfortable and secure with her calming demeanor and patient approach. Her technique was flawless - locating and accessing my vein swiftly and accurately, something many others failed to do in my past experiences. Her gentle touch minimized discomfort, resulting in the smoothest, most pain-free IV session I have ever experienced. Inessa's tender care and proficient abilities lessened not only my physical discomfort but also eased my anxiety. The level of care she displays is a genuine testament to her dedication to patient comfort and satisfaction. In addition to the exceptional healthcare service, the rest of the session was also well organized, carried out in a clean, state-of-the-art facility that further contributed to making this therapy session a standout in terms of overall patient experience. Seeing firsthand Inessa's skill and care, I am more than confident to recommend her and the IV therapy team for anyone needing their services. It's truly a game- changer when a healthcare professional is able to take what is typically a nerve-wracking experience and turn it into an absolute breeze. Thank you for providing such a stellar IV therapy experience. I look forward to future sessions in your capable hands.

Had a blast here with Irene! My friend and I decided to try Cryo here after finding a groupon. We were a little nervous and didn't know what to expect but Irene was very accommodating and assured us we would be fine. She actually even went above and beyond to make this a fun experience for us! Clean robes and socks were provided for our use and there is a private room to change. The whole body Cryo lasted 3 minutes and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! It didn't hurt and the cold is bearable. Felt like new humans after! :). Thanks Irene!

InVita Wellness has been my go to for NAD+ IV therapy, stress relief and exercise recovery since 2021. Service is always efficient and nurse practitioner Inessa is invaluable! Wonderful bedside manners, kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Wellness spaces such as these are hard to find and I am so grateful to this practice. I highly recommend. Thank you Inessa!

I gifted my girlfriend a facial here, and did a full body treatment myself. The facilities are clean and welcoming, the staff was super friendly, and the pricing was so much cheaper than a massage. The actual experience was was quite novel, you basically stand in a shower-like structure and nitrogen is pumped all around you. It gets quite cold as you can imagine, and I spent half the session shivering uncontrollably before I finally got distracted enough to go with the flow. The facial was quite an adventure too. You lie on your back while a vacuum cleaner tube like device sprays nitrogen over your face. Try not to breathe too much of it in, it'll steal your breath away. I initially thought it wouldn't be for me, but after my girlfriend liked it so much I gave it a shot too. Remains to be seen whether it helps my skin or not. All in a a delightful experience
