Cryotherapy For Better Sleep | Sleepopolis | by Carley Prendergast

Dr. Tom Ingegno, Owner of Charm City Integrative Health, discusses the benefits of Cryotherapy to improve your quality of sleep

“According to Dr. Tom Ingegno, doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine at Charm City Integrative Health, in 2019, a small study reported that athletes who received cryotherapy treatment after training in the evening experienced better sleep quality. He also stated that “Many cryotherapy patients report a great night of sleep the evening after cryotherapy. It is a pleasant surprise for many first-timers.”

Ingegno also noted the improvement cold therapy can have on your mental well-being. “Cryotherapy has been shown to help with anxiety and depression, which can keep people up at night. Easing either condition can promote a more restful night.” Whether it’s stress from an upcoming presentation at work or financial struggles at home, many can experience sleepless nights filled with worry. This lack of sleep can make you irritable and less productive, potentially exacerbating existing concerns. Cryotherapy can help reduce outside anxiety-triggers at bedtime, making it a useful treatment for many individuals with irregular sleep patterns, or even sleep disorders like insomnia.”
