Targeted Cryotherapy Brooklyn, NY
- America Cryo Sub-Zero System
- Localized, Not Whole Body
- Brief Sessions
Targeted cryotherapy is used by Dr. Brian Donovan for his patients who suffer from severe pain and sports injuries. At Nuro Chiropractic Clinic in Brooklyn, NY, we only use a system that focuses on the inflamed area. It’s different from putting an ice pack on the injured site.
What is Targeted Cryotherapy in Brooklyn, NY?
Our targeted cryotherapy here at Nuro Chiropractic Clinic in Brooklyn, NY, is a minimally invasive treatment. Dr. Donovan chooses it as part of his patients’ care. It removes damaged tissue that resulted from a medical condition. The extreme cold damages abnormal tissue because cells can’t survive in this severe cold temperature. Thus, they die after treatment. Because it’s a targeted therapy, it doesn’t affect the healthy tissues.
How Does Targeted Cryotherapy in Brooklyn, NY Work?
Targeted cryotherapy works by applying extreme cold to the affected area only. Dr. Donovan will use a device that delivers high-pressure carbon dioxide. When it touches your skin, it freezes the tissue and eases your pain. According to Dr. Donovan, it doesn’t eliminate the pain if the source isn’t treated. That’s why he conducts a thorough examination first to study your medical condition. In that way, he will know what treatment is best for your condition.
Conditions We Treat with Targeted Cryotherapy
Targeted cryotherapy is used in a highly targeted area to trigger your body and make it respond in a certain way. The following are conditions that this therapy can help with:
- Muscle soreness
- Sports injuries
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Knee pain

Dr. Donovan uses this therapy as part of your chiropractic care. It’s not a standalone treatment. He may combine it with other chiropractic treatments, which will be discussed during your consultation with him.
What to Expect at Your First Targeted Cryotherapy in Brooklyn, NY
The first time you visit our Nuro Chiropractic clinic, you should not expect to undergo targeted cryotherapy immediately. You will undergo a consultation with Dr. Donovan first. This will help him determine whether this treatment is ideal for your condition. Even though this treatment is effective, the pain will come back if the cause of it isn’t treated. That’s why an initial consultation with him is vital for the success of your treatment.
If Dr. Donovan believes that this treatment can help your condition, he may include it as part of your treatment plan and not as standalone care. During your first treatment, Dr. Donovan will use a handheld applicator and apply it to the injured area. He’ll continuously move it. You may feel a cold sensation, but it’s tolerable. It’s not painful at all. Throughout the session, Dr. Donovan and his team will monitor you. After the treatment is done, your skin may look pink. But after a few minutes, it will return to normal.
Other Treatments We Use with Targeted Cryotherapy
Targeted cryotherapy is a complementary treatment here at Nuro Chiropractic. Depending on the outcome of your consultation with Dr. Donovan, this therapy may be used along with other chiropractic treatments like chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, laser therapy, or SoftWave therapy.
