Cryotherapy
Definition
Treatment with cold. The SubZero cryotherapy machine uses pressurized CO₂ gas to chill one small area of the body quickly enough to cause "thermal shock", which activates the body’s healing response. Its four principal effects are described as muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and vasomotor. Treatment is quick and non-invasive, with no downtime. Chuck Renner offers SubZero in Springfield, MO.
