Post Surgical Rehabilitation

Pain and inflammation usually accompany most surgical procedures. These often hamper the rehabilitation process by reducing circulation and mobility.

Dr Hitesh Manga's practice specialises in post-surgical rehabilitation. A common method of treatment is cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy can have a powerful effect on reducing pain and inflammation, improving circulation and hence facilitating the rehabilitation and healing processes.

The benefits of cryotherapy for post-surgical rehabilitation include:

  • Decreased swelling
  • Decrease in intercellular adhesion molecule-1
  • Decrease in pro-inflammatory interleukin IL-2 and chemokine IL-8
  • Faster recovery time
  • Increased anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin IL-10
  • Increased cellular metabolism
  • Increased circulation
  • Increased enzyme activity
  • Increased oxygenation and nutrient supply to tissue
  • Interruption of development of pain memory
  • Maintenance of mobility during exercise
  • Pain reduction
  • Reduction in pain
  • Reduction in inflammation
  • Release of nor-adrenaline which reduces inflammation
  • Stabilisation of lysosomal enzymes
