Cold therapy to settle acute flare-ups and swelling.
Ice therapy, also known as cryotherapy, uses controlled cold application to reduce inflammation, numb acute pain, and slow down swelling in injured or irritated tissue. It is one of the simplest and most effective tools in the recovery toolbox, and Dr. Clay uses it strategically as part of in-office treatment when the body needs to calm down before or after manual work.
This is not just slapping an ice pack on and hoping for the best. Dr. Clay applies ice therapy based on the specific injury, the stage of healing, and what other treatments are being done in the same session.
Dr. Clay assesses whether cold therapy is appropriate for your condition and stage of healing.
Ice or a cold pack is applied to the targeted area for 10 to 20 minutes.
You will feel cold, then numbness. This is normal and expected.
After removal, the area may feel stiff briefly before circulation returns and relief sets in.
Specific, hands-on realignment tuned to each person's needs.
Acupuncture-style release for deep myofascial and nerve pain.
Trigger-point and soft-tissue work to free up tight, bound muscle.
Suction therapy to boost circulation and ease tension.
Guided scraping to break up adhesions and speed recovery.
Supportive taping that keeps you moving between visits.
Targeted sound waves to calm inflammation and promote healing.
Corrective movement so the work holds long after you leave.
A whole-body, functional-medicine approach to feeling well.
