Cryotherapy is a popular trend in the health world, with many celebrities advocating for this treatment. The idea behind it is that freezing temperatures can help refuel the body, promote healing and even decrease inflammation. However, it’s important to know that scientific evidence on this treatment is limited and inconclusive.

This type of treatment involves placing your entire body into a large tank that is kept at very low temperatures. You’ll usually be covered with thermal blankets or socks to protect the skin, and a mask covers your mouth and nose. The tanks can range from shoulder height to enclose the whole body, and some can fit two people.

When your body is exposed to the extreme cold, it reacts by constricting the blood vessels and pushing blood towards the vital organs. This results in the body acquiring more oxygen and nutrients, while also decreasing the pain in joints or injuries, according to Dr. Parisien.

Despite these benefits, it’s important to talk to your doctor before trying this treatment, especially if you have certain conditions that can affect your nerves or make you sensitive to cold temperatures. You may also want to try other cold treatments, such as an ice bath or spending time in a cool pool, before moving on to cryotherapy. This way, you can see if the treatment is right for you. If it is, your doctor can guide you to the best clinics and providers to get the treatment started.

Infrared Sauna

Sauna culture is hot in the US right now, with athletes and health-conscious people going to sauna studios or installing their own at home. But what many people don’t know is that infrared saunas are even better than traditional steam ones.

Unlike traditional saunas, which raise the temperature of the air around you, infrared saunas use light waves to heat your body. This means your core temperature rises without the surrounding air, which is more comfortable for long sessions.

Infrared saunas also don’t contain harmful UV rays that can damage your skin. Instead, they use different wavelengths of infrared energy to heat your body—far infrared penetrates the deepest into the tissues, while near and mid infrared penetrate a little bit less deeply.

The result is a detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, which is great for reducing inflammation, strengthening your immune system and improving cardiovascular health. It’s also been shown to help alleviate chronic headaches, fibromyalgia and other aches and pains.

In addition to physical benefits, a study of regular sauna users found that they had lower BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) levels and blood pressure, and were at a much lower risk for heart failure, stroke and cardiac arrest. It’s best to drink plenty of water while in the sauna as sweating and elevated temperatures can be dehydrating.

IV Drip Therapy

Hydration

IV drip therapy offers a fast and effective treatment to help combat dehydration. By bypassing the digestive system, this treatment allows the body to receive fluids directly in the bloodstream. This hydration is key to helping the body fight off fatigue, headaches and other symptoms of dehydration.

This treatment can also include a variety of vitamins and nutrients to help support overall wellness, boost energy levels and aid in weight loss. Some of these include antioxidants like Vitamin C, which can help reduce free radicals in the body that promote signs of aging. It also helps combat hangover symptoms by relieving the nausea and other symptoms that accompany a night out.

Before beginning the procedure, a nurse disinfects the skin over the injection site, typically on the arm, and locates a suitable vein. A small needle is then inserted into the vein, through which a tube is hung. The tube is then attached to a bag of IV fluid. The tubing is then covered with gauze and taped.

A secondary IV administration set may be needed to administer a medication while the primary IV is running. The nurse must first remove the secondary IV tubing from the packaging and sterilize the insertion spike. During this process, the nurse should perform the six rights of medication administration to ensure that the IV solution is safe to administer. The nurse must also double check to ensure that the secondary solution is compatible with the primary fluid being used.

Intramuscular (IM) Shots

Intramuscular injection, abbreviated IM, is the administration of medication via an injection into a muscle. This is usually done for immunizations and other medications that require a deep muscle injection. Muscles have larger blood vessels and are able to absorb medications more quickly than subcutaneous tissue. In addition, IM injections are not subject to the first-pass metabolism effect that occurs with oral medications.

IM injections can be very painful and should only be administered by trained medical professionals. The syringe should be cleaned before administering the shot, and it is important to choose an appropriate injection site. The thigh and hip are common locations for IM injections, and the ventrogluteal muscle is preferred in infants. If the site is not chosen correctly, it could cause the medication to be deposited in fascia or subcutaneous tissue rather than in muscle, which can lead to a delay in the onset of the drug’s effect.

It is also important to prepare the medication according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and to aspirate before giving the injection. This helps prevent injecting medication into a blood vessel, which can lead to serious side effects. Finally, the needle should be a suitable size for the individual. Larger gauge needles are used for thicker medications and adults, while smaller needles are used for younger patients and infants. It is also important to rotate IM injection sites to decrease the risk of hypertrophy (muscle atrophy). It is not recommended to use the deltoid muscle or gluteal muscles for IM injections, as they may contain blood vessels and nerves that can cause injury.

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that uses a pressurized chamber to increase the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream. This helps to heal wounds, promotes the growth of new blood vessels, and helps with some types of infections. It’s also used to treat Lyme disease and other biotoxin illnesses, as it can help to maximize recovery by reducing inflammation, modulating the immune system, increasing energy, decreasing cognitive dysfunction (brain fog) and alleviating pain.

While research into the benefits of HBOT are limited, it’s been shown to have positive effects on the brain, including improved focus, concentration and cognitive function. It also reduces symptoms of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and other autoimmune diseases, aids in the healing of traumatic injuries, multiple sclerosis, lupus and post-concussive syndrome.

The majority of the available HBOT studies were conducted in clinical settings using hardshell high-pressure chambers capable of reaching pressure levels over 1.5 ATA. This type of chamber is typically very expensive, and therefore out of reach for many individuals. Soft hyperbaric chambers, which are designed to be more affordable and accessible for individuals with medical conditions that may benefit from the treatment, have recently begun to enter the market. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy on within-subject changes in systolic and diastolic BP. Ten participants were placed into a mild hyperbaric chamber for 63 minutes. Their systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured at each time point during their treatment.

NAD+ IV Infusions

This IV treatment replenishes the body’s natural energy stores, boosts the immune system, and enhances brain and DNA function. It also aids in healing chronic conditions such as depression and PTSD. This is done by delivering the coenzyme directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This makes it more effective than oral supplements, which take longer to deliver results and may cause side effects.

NAD+ is known to combat aging and chronic health issues by promoting cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and boosting collagen production, which can result in a more youthful appearance. It also promotes healthy mitochondrial function, which can improve mental clarity and focus and protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

NAD+ IV Infusions can also improve metabolic function by supercharging your resting metabolism, helping you burn calories at a faster rate. This makes it an ideal treatment for anyone who wants to lose weight or maintain their current physique. In addition, this intravenous treatment can boost your performance during workouts by strengthening muscle strength and endurance. It can also help prevent post-workout pain and fatigue.
