Cryotherapy, cold therapy injuries leave victims out in the cold

by Bruce Westbrook

Chances are you’ve known someone who’s had surgery on their ankle, knee, shoulder, wrist or other joint in their body, and afterward, they’ve had pain and needed help. And chances are that person’s doctor had them use cryotherapy or a cold therapy system to remove heat, reduce pain and ease inflammation.

If so, this means there’s another chance: that your friend or loved one suffered a cryotherapy injury after such cold therapy treatment. They may have had nerve damage, skin damage and extreme, sustained pain.

This happens in part because such cold therapy systems are supposed to be applied by patients, yet do not provide them with adequate instructions. The cold therapy machine — a cooler with icy water, a pump and a cooling pad placed on the body — can be set at too low of a temperature or used for too long of a time. And that can cause cryotherapy injury.

Such victims of cold therapy system injury then have more medical bills to pay and may miss more time on the job. But they have a chance to recover the costs of these setbacks. They can seek a cryotherapy injury lawsuit to claim damages for their cold therapy injury.

Alert an Adler defective products lawyer today and launch the process of gaining your fair and fitting economic recovery for your cold therapy injury, including medical costs, lost wages and pain and suffering. Don’t let a negligent manufacturer freeze you out of the life that you deserve.
