Cryotherapy
A quick and easy way to decrease inflammation and pain and increase circulation!
The 4 Principle Effects -
Analgesia - Treatment brings an immediate reduction in pain caused by joint, ligament, and tendon issues, allowing horses to recover from acute and chronic lameness faster.
Anti-Inflammatory - Swelling decreases rapidly, while associated increases in blood flow enables faster healing of damaged soft tissue, especially with laminitic horses.
Muscular - Rapid resolution of post-exercise tension and pain from micro tears reduces the risk of further tissue damage.
Cardiovascular - Blood vessels dilate leading to improved circulation, minimizing the possibility of further damage caused by poor blood flow to injury sites.

How Cryo Works
The diffuser streams high-pressure, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at -110F to the affected site on the horse’s body. The creates a thermal shock that immediately activates the sensory neuroreceptors under the skin. The horse’s central nervous system responds with a corrective reflex, which brings a reduction in inflammation, swelling and pain, with further muscular relaxation within just 60 seconds.
