How Whole-Body Cryotherapy Supports Cancer Recovery

Navigating the aftermath of cancer treatment is a journey that requires immense physical and mental resilience. For survivors, the transition toward wellness often involves managing chronic inflammation and lingering treatment side effects. As the largest aesthetic wellness center in Polk County, Ultra Cryo & Recovery provides the advanced technology necessary to reclaim vitality through evidence-based recovery.
How Advanced Recovery Supports Healing:
- Managing Systemic Inflammation: Cancer treatments can trigger widespread inflammatory responses. Recent 2024 pilot studies indicate that regular Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) sessions significantly impact inflammation by lowering high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels (Interactive Journal of Medical Research, 2024). Exposure to temperatures between -166°F and -220°F triggers a systemic anti-inflammatory response to soothe joint pain and muscle discomfort.
- Addressing Treatment Side Effects: A common challenge for survivors is Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN). Clinical research published in 2025 (CROPSI Study) demonstrated that cryotherapy achieved a significant skin temperature cooling effect of approximately 54.5°F on extremities, providing a safe method to help manage these symptoms. The 3-minute "Reset" sessions available in Lakeland, Auburndale, and Davenport are designed to improve regional circulation and metabolic rates.
- Restoring Mental Clarity: The release of endorphins and norepinephrine during cryotherapy helps elevate mood and enhance mental alertness. This natural process assists in clearing "chemo brain" and promotes the deep, restorative sleep necessary for long-term health.
The Ultra Cryo Difference: As Polk County’s largest aesthetic wellness center, our experts have managed over 25,000 wellness journeys. We don't just offer a service; we offer a results-oriented sanctuary for those ready to move from surviving to thriving.
Cryotherapy and Cancer Recovery FAQs
Is cryotherapy safe for cancer survivors?
Cryotherapy is generally considered safe for many cancer survivors once they have completed active treatments like chemotherapy or surgery. However, because every journey is unique, it is essential to consult with an oncologist before beginning a new wellness regimen. Experts at Ultra Cryo & Recovery in Lakeland, Auburndale, and Davenport prioritize client safety and work to ensure each 3-minute session aligns with personal recovery goals.
How does cryotherapy help with chemotherapy side effects?
Cryotherapy helps manage common side effects like Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) and systemic inflammation. By exposing the body to extreme cold, cryotherapy can improve circulation and reduce the "firing" of pain signals in the extremities. A 2025 study (CROPSI) highlighted that controlled cooling is a safe method to help manage the tingling and numbness often left behind by treatment.
Can cryotherapy help with "chemo brain" and fatigue?
Yes. Cryotherapy triggers a natural release of endorphins and norepinephrine. These "feel-good" hormones help lift the mental fog often referred to as "chemo brain," while also improving mood and energy levels. Many clients in Lakeland, Auburndale, and Davenport report significantly better sleep quality after a session, which is the foundation of energy restoration.
How many cryotherapy sessions are needed for recovery?
While a single "3-minute reset" can provide immediate mood and pain relief, consistency is the key to long-term results. Most recovery protocols suggest two to three sessions per week to effectively manage chronic inflammation and maintain mental clarity.
