Chronic Inflammation and the Aging Process
As we age, there are a myriad of changes that occur inside of our bodies. One of these notable changes is an increase in chronic inflammation, also known as “inflammaging”. Due to the fact that inflammation is tied to nearly every known disease, controlling chronic inflammation should be priority number for each and every one of us. Check out HOW to counteract the aging process, in order to live your very best life!
Combatting Seasonal Depression with PBM Therapy
Seasonal Affective Disorder typically occurs during the colder and darker months of the year, as natural light is harder to come by in the wintertime. There are many contributing factors to the onset of SAD, including: circadian rhythm changes, a drop in serotonin levels, and melatonin dysregulation. Photobiomodulation has been widely used in the treatment of mental health disorders, including SAD and seasonal depression. In this week’s blog, we take a look at PBM’s confirmed anti-depressive and anti-anxiety effects, and discuss this treatment option in further detail.
The Science of Gratitude
The month of November has been marked as National Gratitude Month, and at Cryo Recovery, we want to spread the word about not only what we are grateful for, but also on the science of gratitude. Scientists have been studying gratitude for many years, and they can now say that gratitude unequivocally changes your brain, your response to stress and trauma, and your overall health.
Defy the Aging Process!
Aging is getting incredible press right now. Everywhere we turn, we see a new article, book, or event discussing this longstanding issue, with information regarding what we can do about it. Recently, MIT Technology Review dedicated an entire edition to the topic of aging, and discussed in great detail the status of the latest research. The link between inflammation and aging has become increasingly clear, and in this blog, we dive into the pillars of the aging process, and look to slow, control, and even reverse the effects of aging.
Cryoskin + Ballancer Pro: A Match Made in Heaven!
Individually, these modalities are game-changers in their own right, but when used TOGETHER, they can take your aesthetic results to the next level. Cryoskin uses the manual application of sub-zero temperatures to freeze fat cells, and Ballancer Pro stimulates the lymphatic system. Through stimulating the lymphatic system, toxins, waste products, and yes, previously destroyed fat cells can be eliminated quickly and efficiently.
Naturally Improve Thyroid Health
12% of the population will be diagnosed with a thyroid condition at some point in their lifetime. Given this daunting statistic, many people are seeking out natural alternatives to medications and surgery, in order to control these disorders. LLLT, also known as PBM, has been shown to naturally improve thyroid conditions in patients, and this clinical trial is incredibly promising!
Kicking Pain to the Curb!
Despite being the number one reason why Americans go to the doctor each year, pain is one of the most underfunded research departments of the NIH. Pain costs our country $635 BILLION (yes, billion) dollars each year in terms of lost productivity and medical expenses, and sufferers often feel like they have very few treatment options. This National Pain Awareness Month, we explore the innovative pain interventions that we offer here at Cryo Recovery, in hopes of providing relief for the pain warriors out there!
Benefits of Ballancer Pro
The Lymphatic System is one of the most overlooking systems of the human body, yet it is one of the most important. If it weren’t for our lymphatic systems, our bodies would not be able to detox properly. The Ballancer Pro facilitates the lymphatic system by stimulating the process of lymphatic drainage. This incredible machine has medical, aesthetic, and athletic benefits, and we are thrilled to offer it to our customers!
Photobiomodulation Shows Promise for Chemotherapy and Radiation Patients
A huge endorsement of PBM Therapy for those undergoing grueling cancer treatments. In June, the MASCC recommended PBM for those undergoing chemo, radiation, and stem cell transplants. This recommendation was given after discovering that PBM was greatly beneficial in not only the treatment, but also the prevention of oral mucositis, one of the most painful complications of cancer treatments.
Whole Body vs. Partial Body Cryotherapy: Why it Matters
Not all cryotherapy systems are created equal. It is important to recognize the key differences between Electric Whole Body Cryotherapy and Nitrogen Partial Body Cryotherapy, in order to prevent incidents like the one that recently happened to Antonio Brown.
