What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a treatment that exposes your body to extremely cold temperatures (between -200°F and -250°F) for a short duration, typically 2 to 4 minutes. This sudden exposure to cold triggers your body’s natural healing processes, reducing inflammation and promoting muscle recovery.
At Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine, we use state-of-the-art cryotherapy chambers to deliver safe and effective sessions tailored to your needs.
What Are the Benefits of Cryotherapy?
Patients choose cryotherapy for a variety of health and wellness benefits:
-
Pain relief and inflammation reduction
-
Faster muscle recovery after workouts
-
Improved circulation and metabolism
-
Boosted energy and mood
-
Enhanced skin tone and collagen production
A study from NIH highlights how whole-body cryotherapy improves pain, mood, and recovery in both clinical and athletic settings. At Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine, we often recommend cryotherapy to athletes, active adults, and individuals managing chronic pain.
Is Cryotherapy Safe?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals like the team at Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine, cryotherapy is safe. The treatment is brief, and patients are monitored throughout each session. Protective clothing is provided to shield sensitive areas like hands and feet.
What Does Cryotherapy Feel Like?
Many patients describe cryotherapy as refreshing and invigorating, though you’ll feel intense cold during the session. Unlike applying ice directly to the skin, cryotherapy uses dry, cold air, which feels less uncomfortable than you might expect.
After your session, you’ll typically experience:
-
A rush of endorphins
-
Reduced pain or soreness
-
A pleasant, energized feeling

Before your first cryotherapy session at Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine, follow these tips:
-
Wear dry, comfortable clothing.
-
Remove all jewelry and metal items.
-
Avoid applying lotions or oils beforehand.
-
Stay hydrated before and after treatment.
Our team will provide gloves, socks, and other protective wear to keep you safe and comfortable.
Who Should Avoid Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy may not be suitable for individuals with:
-
Severe hypertension
-
Heart conditions
-
Cold sensitivity disorders (like Raynaud’s disease)
-
Pregnancy
At Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine, we’ll review your medical history during your consultation to ensure cryotherapy is safe for you.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The ideal number of sessions depends on your personal health goals:
-
Pain relief: Often noticeable after 1-3 sessions.
-
Sports recovery: Regular sessions post-workout help maintain muscle health.
-
General wellness: Many patients schedule sessions weekly for long-term benefits.
