How Cryotherapy Reduces Pain
Cryotherapy works by activating your body’s natural response to cold exposure:
- Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation: Cold causes blood vessels to narrow, then reopen, increasing circulation and flushing out inflammatory markers. This process helps reduce swelling while improving nutrient delivery to tissues, supporting faster recovery.
- Reduced Inflammation: Cold exposure lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines and can decrease swelling associated with arthritis, injuries, or chronic aches. Lower inflammation levels may reduce both acute and long-term pain.
- Endorphin Release: Cryotherapy encourages the body to release endorphins—natural pain relievers that boost mood and help with stress management.
- Pain Threshold Improvements: Studies suggest cryotherapy may raise the body’s pain threshold, making discomfort easier to manage and enhancing quality of life.
Session Details:
- Duration: 2–3 minutes
- Temperature Range: –110 °C to –140 °C
- Methods: Available as both whole-body cryotherapy and localized cryotherapy, depending on client needs

Benefits of Cryotherapy for Pain Relief
Cryotherapy offers an alternative to prescription pain medications and opioids, reducing reliance on pharmaceuticals and their potential side effects.
Cold therapy is proven to decrease inflammation and swelling, which play a central role in chronic pain conditions such as arthritis and back pain. Learn more about our Inflammation therapies.
By reducing swelling and discomfort, cryotherapy can improve range of motion and make everyday tasks easier for people living with persistent pain.
In addition to relieving physical discomfort, cryotherapy promotes endorphin release, which reduces stress and boosts mood. Many clients report feeling calmer, more energetic, and better prepared to handle daily challenges. Explore our Mental & Sleep Wellness services.

The wellness services available at Modern Cryo in Midlothian are so good for muscle recovery and cellular regeneration. I feel so much better after cryotherapy, infrared sauna and red light sessions. The compression feels like a deep tissue massage when I increase the pressure and I love it. The brain tap is very unique and I can tell a difference in my stress, mood, sleep after. The best part is they are more affordable than anywhere else I’ve been. I bring my son for muscle recovery for football too.
The owner, Rina, was friendly and helpful with my questions about whole body cryotherapy and red light therapy. I did cryo for 2 minutes and felt immediate relief for my shoulder and neck area. I also tried the red light therapy for 20 minutes and enjoyed it. Rina was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the equipment. They offer several kinds of services, and I’ll definitely be back.
