At Georgetown SunCryo, we provide safe and effective cryotherapy treatments for new mothers in Washington, DC to help reduce swelling after childbirth. Postpartum swelling—also known as postnatal edema—is common in the days and weeks following delivery. Whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, your body can retain excess fluids, leading to puffiness in the feet, ankles, legs, hands, and even the face. Our specialized postpartum cryotherapy sessions are designed to naturally decrease swelling, improve circulation, and speed up recovery.
Why Swelling Happens After Childbirth
During pregnancy, the body produces extra fluids to support the baby’s growth. After delivery, it takes time for the body to eliminate this fluid. Common causes of postpartum swelling include:
- Hormonal changes after delivery
- Fluid retention from pregnancy
- IV fluids received during labor or C-section
- Inflammation from childbirth recovery
- Reduced circulation due to limited movement postpartum
While some swelling is normal, excessive discomfort or prolonged puffiness can slow recovery.
How Cryotherapy Reduces Postpartum Swelling
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that exposes the body to sub-zero temperatures for 2–3 minutes in a specialized cryo chamber. For postpartum swelling, cryotherapy works by:
- Constricting blood vessels during cold exposure, then dilating them afterward to boost blood flow
- Flushing out excess fluids and reducing fluid retention
- Lowering inflammation in joints and tissues
- Stimulating lymphatic drainage to remove waste and toxins
- Accelerating healing by delivering oxygen-rich blood to affected areas
This process helps new mothers experience faster swelling reduction and improved comfort without the need for medications—making it safe for breastfeeding women.
