CryoDerm for Children? Absolutely!
I was driving past a school the other day, and noticed children nearly bent over from some of the backpacks they're carrying. Some looked to be loaded down like they were going on a 3-day hike! Don't schools have lockers anymore? Or are they just giving so much homework, they have to bring home every book?
The truth is, the aging population does not have an exclusive on pain. Kids get muscle aches and pains, too. Children can suffer from fibromyalgia or bulging discs the same as adults.¹ Many young people (ages birth through adolescence) suffer from chronic pain, lasting three months or longer.² While this is sometimes attributed to disease, many times the cause is the aforementioned backpacks, sports injuries or playground accidents, sitting stationary at a desk for hours a day...the same kinds of things that affect the rest of us.
No one wants to see children using strong pain medications unless they're absolutely necessary. That's where we can offer help, through the use of our topical pain products. We aren't suggesting rubbing CryoDerm on your infant...if your child isn't old enough to speak, they could not tell you if they were having an irritation to anything you might put on them. But it's a great solution for children who are school-age and up.
CryoDerm is free of steroids, gluten, dyes, parabens, and silicone. Our thoughtfully sourced ingredients in CryoDerm Cold Therapy include
- arnica (to reduce swelling)
- boswellia (for anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic actions)
- eucalyptus (for its warming properties)
- ilex ( to loosen joints and reduce swelling)
- menthol (to activate peripheral cold receptors)
- MSM (an essential healthy tissue found in joints)
- peppermint oil (for its anesthetic properties,
- purified water and SD-Alcohol 39-C (a natural distilled grain alcohol – for external use only)
CryoDerm is used and recommended by thousands of sports medicine doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and other health professionals. With two to three times as much menthol as our closest competitors, it's a question of going straight for the best instead of the rest. CRYODERM® cryotherapy products provide fast-acting, deep-penetrating, long-lasting pain-relieving cold therapy. Clinically proven CRYODERM® is ideal for soft tissue injuries, muscle strains, sprained ligaments, neurological conditions, arthritic bone and joint conditions, tendonitis, neuritis, bursitis, neuropathy, neuromas, and plantar fasciitis.
Chances are that children aren't the ones visiting our website. If you're a parent, and your child is suffering from chronic or injury-related pain, try some plant-based CryoDerm to help them (and don't forget to order some for yourself).
We would never claim to be a substitute for medical care. If your child suddenly develops acute pain for no apparent reason, or has pain lasting more than a few days, please take them to the doctor for a proper diagnosis.
