When this treatment may help
The practice lists Cryofos for sports injuries, muscular symptoms and after operations. Whether local cooling is appropriate depends on findings and skin condition. A new injury first needs suitable assessment.
How the treatment works
Cryofos rapidly cools the surface of an affected area using a carbon-dioxide cooling jet. This local application differs from home cooling or whole-body cold treatments.
What happens at your appointment
The area is checked, the procedure explained and the application controlled. Skin response and sensation are considered. Further sessions or combination with other care depend on progress.
What you can expect
The aim is additional symptom relief. A short-term change in pain does not prove that an injury has healed. Activity and rehabilitation still need to reflect the condition of the tissue.
Limitations and possible risks
Excessive cooling can damage skin and tissue. Reduced sensation, circulation problems and unusual cold sensitivity must be known beforehand. This is not an uncontrolled self-treatment procedure.
Preparing for your appointment
Tell us about skin problems, numbness, circulation difficulties or previous cold reactions. Ask about activity afterwards. Temporary pain relief should not be used to return to full loading too early.
Costs and insurance
The practice accepts all public health insurances and offers private treatment. This does not mean every individual service is covered. The scope, possible personal costs and follow-up are discussed before starting.
