Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) is a cutting-edge treatment that is showing promise in the medical and wellness communities. WBC involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short period of time in order to promote healing and pain relief. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how WBC works and some of the potential benefits of this treatment.


Whole Body Cryotherapy works by causing the body to go into survival mode. When the body is exposed to cold temperatures, the blood vessels constrict in order to preserve heat. This causes a decrease in inflammation and an increase in endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers). In addition, Cryotherapy can help to speed up the healing process by increasing collagen production and reducing muscle soreness.

There are a number of potential benefits of Whole Body Cryotherapy, including but not limited to:
-Reduced inflammation
-Increased energy levels
-Faster muscle recovery
-Improved skin tone
-Weight loss
-Reduced stress levels

Capitol Cryo Is Offering More Than Cryotherapy

Capitol Cryo is more than just cryotherapy. We provide several holistic modalities for our clients in Salem and surrounding cities. You may be wondering what these treatments are – and today we’re here to tell you all about them!

Capitol Cryo’s Treatment Offerings

We are excited to offer several holistic treatments to help fight inflammation, provide pain relief, and so much more! Below are the four holistic modalities you can experience here at Capitol Cryo:

LED Light Therapy

Capitol Cryo is excited to provide Celluma LED Light Therapy. This FDA-approved technology uses photonic light energy to provide deep penetration through tissue and thereby reduce inflammation. This technology has been studied for years and is scientifically proven to alleviate symptoms caused by inflammation, relieve pain, improve circulation, kill bacteria, and stimulate tissue repair.

Our clients deserve the best therapies, which is why we have chosen to provide them with Celluma LED Light Therapy. This technology is FDA approved and has been researched extensively to prove its efficacy.

You can use LED Light Therapy to:

  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Decrease spasms, joint pain, tension, and aches
  • Speed tissue repair
  • Improve localized circulation
  • Treat acne, rosacea, and dermatitis
  • Relieve rheumatoid arthritis, muscle, and joint pain
  • Reduce fine lines and blemishes
  • Prevents acne breakouts
  • Decrease subcutaneous toxins in the face

This new treatment can assist anyone with pain reduction, accident recovery, acne healing and prevention, wound healing, and more.

NormaTec Compression

The massage system created by NormaTec assists in rapid post-workout recovery. NormaTech Compression Sleeves use their patented pulse massage pattern to mobilize fluid, breaking down lactic acid build up in the limbs. This is an effective treatment for runners and other athletes to speed post-workout recovery.

We chose NormaTec’s compression system specifically because it was developed by a bioengineer to work with your body’s systems, making it a fantastic holistic treatment modality.  

Local Cryotherapy

You’ve heard of our whole-body cryotherapy treatments, but have you tried local cryotherapy? These localized, ten-minute treatments allow individuals to use cryotherapy on specific areas of the body, targeting pain points and reducing inflammation.

You could think of localized cryotherapy as an extremely effective way to ice an area that is swelling, causing pain, stiff, or sore. Often, when a person has an area of discomfort, they must ice that area for as long as they can stand, sitting immobile and uncomfortable for extended periods. Local cryotherapy is much more rapid, comfortable, and effective.

Additionally, localized cryotherapy has a surprising use – it can be used to boost your skin’s health and rejuvenate its appearance with a cryo facial! The application of intense cold to your skin can stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and much more.

Here’s a shortlist of some of the benefits provided by local cryotherapy and cryo facials:

  • Reduces joint and arthritic pain while speeding recovery
  • Decreases soreness and inflammation in targeted areas
  • Activates natural regeneration
  • Speeds post-operative surgery healing
  • Stimulates tissue production
  • Improves circulation
  • Treats and soothes eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis
  • Detoxes skin
  • Reduces fine lines, blemishes, and acne

The anti-inflammatory properties of cryotherapy are also used to treat chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema. With repeated applications, cryotherapy will assist in reducing affected areas, minimizing fine lines, age spots and giving the skin a natural glow, without downtime, needles, recovery times or having to remove makeup.

Whole-body Cryotherapy

Of course, we provide whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) with our in-house cryo chamber, as well. When experiencing WBC, you expose your body to subzero temperatures, triggering the body’s anti-inflammatory response, improving blood circulation, and helping your body to repair tissues. You can find out more about Whole body cryotherapy on our website, or by booking your $25 first appointment!

Are you ready to start your journey toward holistic health? Contact Capitol Cryo today to utilize our Celluma LED Light Therapy, try local cryotherapy, get a cryo facial, or book your whole body cryotherapy appointment.

What Can Cryotherapy Do for Me?

If you enjoy sports or follow athletes on Instagram, you may have come across the holistic modality called cryotherapy. You may have seen a high-tech enclosure filled with visible cold air and wondered “what is that?” It was probably a subzero cryotherapy chamber – you can see more of them here on our website or by booking an appointment and experiencing cryotherapy for yourself.

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy involves exposing your body to very cold, very dry air with the goal of rapid muscle recovery, chronic pain and inflammation reduction and an overall enhancement of health and wellness.

Here at Capitol Cryo, we offer Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC), which means that you can experience cryotherapy over your entire body. This simple and safe process involves stepping into a chamber filled with hyper-chilled air for 2-3 minutes.

How Can Cryotherapy Help Me?

While the process of cryotherapy is simple, it can benefit your health in several ways. These include:

Faster Recovery from Exercise: Athletes have known for a very long time that the application of icy cold to an affected area speeds one along the road to recovery. Because your body reacts rapidly to the extreme cold provided by cryotherapy, you can now realize the powerful benefits of the cold without a painful ice bath. Athletes like Kobe Bryant and teams like the Dallas Mavericks are all enthusiasts recovery method. Cryotherapy has also been known to decrease muscle aches and eliminates delayed onset muscle soreness.

Relief from Chronic Pain: Many of our clients choose to start cryotherapy for the alleviation of the symptoms of various physical conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune disorders. We’ve long known that the use of cold can decrease pain, so it should be no surprise that this therapy utilizing extreme cold can reduce pain levels while improving the effectiveness of other treatments. Three minutes of cold can be worth hours of relief!

Chronic Fatigue: Many of us suffer from chronic fatigue, stress-related fatigue, or insomnia. A number of our clients report feeling increased energy for several days after treatment.

Metabolism Boost: While everybody is different, this treatment could potentially burn 500-800 calories. Need we say more?

Increased Mental Clarity and Mood: The endorphin rush is one of the simplest and best side effects of this new treatment. Many clients have used cryotherapy as a holistic treatment for stress and anxiety – and found excellent results!

Rapid Post-Surgery Recovery: Because cryotherapy reduces inflammation at an accelerated rate, it works with the body to assist in post-surgery rehabilitation. Additionally, those clients utilizing physical therapy to return to health can benefit from the pain reduction and improved circulation cryotherapy provides.

Is it time for you to feel better, recover faster, or regain your health? Come in to Capitol Cryo and try your first treatment for only $25.00. Click here to book your first appointment.

CrossFit Recovery

INJURY AND MUSCLE RECOVERY FOR ATHLETES

On the day after Slaughterfest here in Salem, Oregon I feel it is appropriate to talk about how Whole Body Cryotherapy can help athletes recover.  The Crossfit athletes who competed yesterday are waking up to massive lactic acid and soreness.  Their legs and arms are stiff and inflamed, no doubt from the massive reps they produced over a short period of time, pushing their bodies to the limit.  Cryotherapy can help with pain management.

Cryotherapy subjects the body to extreme cold and sends a rush of blood to your vital organs and core. As soon as you leave the cold, this new enriched blood is sent back to the rest of your body, including the injured areas.   The 2-3 minute session will increase your mobility, reduce stiffness and help manage your pain as you recover.

The endorphin rush you feel coming out of the chamber is your blood returning from your core, stripping inflammation and lactic acid and reducing the chance for future injury and helping you recover faster to get back to your next workout.  Whole Body Cryotherapy, unlike an ice bath can get you back to competition the same day versus the 24 hour recovery time of an ice bath.

Remember to fuel your body! We have some great partners in town that can help with those supplements as you prep for your next competition. Kamikaze has taken the valley by storm and now has a new shop in Keizer!  Check them out 😉
