Raleigh, United States – January 11, 2019 / Living Well Balanced /

For people facing debilitating pain from recent injuries or chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, there’s a new natural option to consider helping them avoid the need for medications like addictive opioids. Living Well Balanced recently introduced a full body contrast therapy that consists of a Cryotherapy session immediately followed by a Far Infrared therapy session.

Cryotherapy is a process in which your body is briefly exposed to extremely cold temperatures which then help in reducing inflammation and increased blood circulation. This therapy is effective with acute injury and muscle recovery.

The Far Infrared sauna works by using infrared wavelengths of light to warm up the body so that the heat you feel is being produced from within your cells. When you sweat you detoxify, therefore, infrared therapy helps your body to get rid of toxins, including heavy metals and environmental chemicals. It also makes your body clean, inside out.

When Cryotherapy and Far Infrared therapies are combined in a way that one is immediately followed by the other, then this method is known as “contrast therapy.” This medical therapy has proven to be extremely beneficial and rewarding. Living Well Balanced is now offering a full body contrast therapy. The result is that, while each therapy addresses the sources of pain individually, by combining the two different treatments patients are expected to achieve faster recovery and longer-lasting relief. Contrast therapy has also been proven to aid in weight loss. You can burn more than 1000 calories with one session of contrast therapy.

“This is an exciting holistic healing advancement that just makes sense for my patients facing ‘real pain’“ said Ankur Prakash, DC at his Raleigh-based natural healthcare center. “We’re the only facility of our kind that I know of that can combine both cryotherapy cold treatment and far infrared treatment at the same location to the patient to achieve advanced results in inflammation management, which gets to the root of most debilitating pain.”

Living Well Balanced has locations in New York and Raleigh, North Carolina. Appointments can be made via phone or through the Living Well Balanced website: https://www.livingwellbalancednc.com
