Cryotherapy has been a key part of many chiropractic practices for years. Whether it is ice packs, gel packs or the latest ice sprays, it's a safe bet that the majority of chiropractors use ice. Sometimes we tend to take for granted the modalities that are the norm in practice. Let's take a look at the latest research on cryotherapy, including new technology from whole-body cryotherapy chambers to a "cooling glove" that enhances recovery and produces more strength gains than steroids. It's time to revisit the importance of cryotherapy in clinical practice and how to apply the latest findings in your practice. You'll never look at cold therapy the same way again.

In the rehabilitation setting, this can lead to significant increases in compliance and strength gains while limiting inflammation.
