Cold therapy nerve damage

Something that I had never considered, despite having had physical therapists use it for my dad in the past, is the potential for damage if cold therapy, commonly used in the treatment of certain muscle or joint injuries, is used improperly or for too extended a length of time.

Being a freelance writer I am all too aware of things such as repetitive strain injury and the danger of carpel tunnel syndrome. Cold therapy, also known as cryotherapy, is often used after surgeries to treat swelling in wrists and hands (or for shoulders, knees and ankles). Used improperly, either for too long or at too cold a setting, cryotherapy can cause serious injury including nerve damage, chronic pain, or frostbite.
