Cold Compression Soccer - Cold Compression Therapy | Cold Compression

  During championship games, medical staff faces as much of a challenge as the athletes do. The upcoming 2016 UEFA Championship would be a case in point. In order to be able to treat the entire team, they need to use any time-saving measures they have at their disposal. High-performance, flexible technology is beneficial, and it needs to be ready to use in an instant, whether on the field, in the locker room or the treatment room. Cold compression cryotherapy can meet these needs, as it also stimulates smooth muscles and blood vessel walls. While its application can be impractical, the ice pack still plays a significant role in the RICE treatment protocol (rest, ice, compression, elevation) used after any traumatic injury. Its analgesic effect is incontestable (skin temperature must drop to 53 - 55°F), and because the cold temperatures slow down cell metabolism, it also has anti-inflammatory effects. It is, however, not very practical. For the treatment to be effective, correct pl...

Hip Replacement and Cold Compression - America Cryo

Image
  According to the CDC ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ) over 330,000 people over the age of 45 undergo hip replacement each year. Experts attribute this staggering number in large part to an increase in the incidence of degenerative arthritis, leading to a higher number of younger people choosing to have the surgery in order to experience better mobility and less pain. As with any surgery, the recovery can be difficult. Because this is an invasive surgery, typically requiring an incision of about eight inches in length, pain levels may be high and mobility low for a period of months following the surgery. Some things you can do to protect the new joint and speed healing are: Sitting in a straight, firm and supportive chair; do not use recliners Avoiding stairs whenever possible, using them at a maximum of once or twice per day if necessary Keeping walking areas clear of clutter to avoid trips and falls Installing an elevated seat on the toilet in order to prevent the ...
