Ice Pack Cryotherapy

At Catalina Medical center we use ice pack cryotherapy to help treat injuries. Ice pack therapy uses cold compresses on your skin that helps to reduce the temperature of your skin and constrict blood vessels in the area. When you use cold compresses right after an injury it helps to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation.


Outside of relieving pain right after an injury, ice pack cryotherapy is useful in dealing with muscle spasms. The cold on your spasms helps to numb the painful area’s and loosen up the joints and soft tissues. Patients that have arthritis may benefit from ice pack cryotherapy to reduce their pain and mobility.


We encourage our patients who are suffering from pain to see if ice pack cryotherapy is right for you. Cold compresses are no longer for fresh injuries as they are useful long after the initial injury and can help to reduce pain and increase mobility in your joints.

Chiropractic Treatment and Migraines

The Catalina Medical Center r ecommends chiropractic adjustments for migraine sufferers who have yet to find relief. Chiropractic treatment will not cure migraines, but it is one of the few ways to be proactive against migraines and help prevent them.  In someone prone to migraine episodes, a trigger can often be a misalignment, or subluxation of the spine.  Migraines can begin with tension in the neck, but even patients without migraines find keeping their neck free of kinks helps improve frequent headaches. Dysfunctional vertebrae in the neck can cause increased muscle tension and interrupt the nerves that control blood flow to the brain. Chiropractic adjustments relieve the pressure and tension that results in headaches, and keep the spine aligned to help it function at its best. Regular chiropractic adjustments also help facilitate healthy blood flow and nerve function.  For a chronic migraine sufferer it may take weeks of consistent adjustments, but patients will experience a sign

Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment

Degenerative Disc Disease is less of a disease and more of a byproduct of aging. As we grow older, our bodies naturally begin to wear down. The spinal discs protect the vertebrae from everyday wear and tear. Once they weaken you can experience problems like bulging and herniated discs, osteoarthritis, and spinal stenosis. Drs. Richard Cohen, Rob Josefsson, and Paul Newhouse work with you to relieve any painful symptoms. To learn more, contact our office in Redondo Beach, CA.   Any noticeable symptoms depend entirely on the patient. The biggest factor is the severity of the condition. Some patients don’t even notice that they have it. Pain is noted in the back or neck, wherever the affected disc is located. It can even spread through the arms, legs, and buttocks. Overall, pain levels range from mild to severe.   As mentioned, the biggest cause of degenerative disc disease is aging. Discs naturally lose fluid, making them stiffer and smaller. Everyday use leaves a toll. Repeated physical
