Cryotherapy FAQ in Auburn WA

Cryotherapy is a therapeutic treatment that exposes your body (or a targeted area) to extremely cold temperatures for a short period of time. It helps reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed up recovery.

Cryotherapy may benefit people experiencing:

• Muscle and joint pain
• Sports injuries or post-workout recovery
• Arthritis and chronic inflammation
• Post-surgical or injury healing support
• Circulation and energy improvement

Yes. Cryotherapy is safe for most people when performed under trained supervision with proper equipment. Sessions are short (usually 2–3 minutes), and our team closely monitors your comfort and safety.

You’ll feel an intense but manageable cold sensation. Most patients describe it as refreshing and invigorating. Many leave their session feeling less sore, energized, and ready to take on the day.

The cryotherapy treatment itself lasts about 2–3 minutes. Plan for about 10–15 minutes total to allow time for preparation and recovery.

It depends on your goals; however, some patients notice benefits after just one visit, while others choose to schedule regular sessions (2–3 times per week) for ongoing pain management, athletic recovery, or wellness maintenance.

Cryotherapy may not be suitable for people with uncontrolled high blood pressure, certain heart conditions, Raynaud’s disease, or severe cold sensitivity. Our team will review your health history before treatment to ensure it’s safe for you.

You can wear any comfortable clothing that allows us easy access to the area being treated. If needed, we also have patient gowns available to ensure your comfort and privacy.

While ice packs provide surface-level relief, cryotherapy uses much colder temperatures in a controlled setting. This stimulates a deeper response in the body—helping reduce inflammation, speed recovery, and improve circulation more effectively than traditional icing.
