The opioid crisis in the United States is spiraling out of control, has reached epidemic proportions, and in some parts of the country the problem is so severe that almost everyone knows someone who has the problem or has died from it. Almost everyone has an opinion of who is to blame. Many blame the victims or addicts. Others blame doctors for prescribing addictive pain relievers. Some blame Big Pharma and others blame drug dealers who sell illegal drugs to addicts for continuing their desire to remain in that state.
It’s hard for us to realize that this all starts with intense pain and trying to deal with it. If there were no pain, it is doubtful that many will seek the pain reliever or prescribe it in the first place. Now can I offer a suggestion in this article? Go ahead and read what I have to say, as I have been studying this topic in our Think Tank as we try to find a viable solution to this opioid crisis affecting our nation.
Chronic pain is not fun. Living in constant pain is not living a full life. Yes, adversity builds character, but how much more character do you really need at this point in your life? Just a couple of sessions of whole body cryotherapy per week will significantly reduce pain.
Sure, one can learn to tolerate pain and develop a high threshold, or take expensive and highly addictive pain relievers, but since empirical evidence and research shows that whole-body cryotherapy works, isn’t it time I went back to be pain free? Don’t hesitate, be cool.
How does cryotherapy reduce pain?
Cryotherapy reduces nerve conduction velocity (NCV), allowing the individual to maintain a higher pain threshold (PTH) and better paint tolerance (PTO). Since your brain does not receive pain signals at a high level, it sends less reinforcement to the area causing the inflammation. The inflammation causes more tenderness and pain, and the cycle continues, so by breaking this cycle, your body can heal without excessive pain or inflammation during the process. Whole body cryotherapy tends to be a much better solution than pain relievers;
(1) It is not addictive; Y
(2) Nerve endings are only temporarily silenced, long enough to prevent recurrent inflammation in the short term.
Although the theory behind each method is somewhat similar, it is always better to use natural ways to get your body to a better place than to use synthetic pharmaceuticals to unnaturally trick your body into reacting in a certain way, especially when there are side effects. additional. deal with.
