Effects of NRS Therapy
NRS Therapy uses the combined effects of extreme cooling and pressure to produce beneficial physiological effects in the body.
Two Pathways to the Brain
The key to NRS Therapy is the treatment of pain through the COMBINED effects of extreme cooling AND pressure. The pressure component of NRS Therapy allows for the treatment of pain via two pathways to the Thalamus.
Lateral Spinothalamic Tract (Pain & Temperature)
Ventral Spinothalamic Tract (Touch & Pressure)
Potentiation is achieved via the conduction of BOTH tracts!
Physiological Effects
Analgesic
Decreased pain through the inhibition of nociceptors
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Immediate suppression of enzymes and decreased inflammation
VASOMOTOR
Deep vasodilation within 20-30 seconds of treatment
NEUROLOGICAL
Muscle relaxation as a result of myostatic reflex in the medulla
