Cold Therapy

Cold therapy is the local application of cold temperatures.  Cold therapy combined with intermittent compression therapy has proven to be a safe and effective way to help patients recover after an injury or a surgical procedure. 

Clinical Benefits

-Reduce pain and edema;

-Reduce pain medication intake;

-Improve lymphatic drainage;

-Promote faster healing and recovery.

A continuous passive motion (CPM) machine is a device that may be prescribed by your physician and used to gently flex and extend the knee joint following an injury or a surgical procedure. 

Clinical Benefits

-Reduce joint stiffness;

-Reduce pain and edema;

-Enhance the recovery of post-operative range of motion.

Trauma or prolonged restriction may result in a loss of joint motion and function requiring treatment.

A static progressive orthotic is typically worn for 30 minutes, 2-3 times a day for the duration of the treatment period in order to help regain full range of motion.

Clinical Benefits

-Patient compliance: Easy at home therapy between in-person therapy appointments;

-Bi-directional: Can treat both flexion or extension contractures;

-Help patients to regain lost range of motion;

-Significant time and cost savings to patients, insurers, employers, and healthcare providers.
