The 3 Best Areas on Your Body for a Coolsculpting Procedure

Body fat can be one of the most stubborn things to get rid of.

Despite your best efforts, certain parts of your body just never seem to slim down!

Stuck in a rut about fat loss?A coolsculpting procedure is one the most innovative ways to tone up and add those finishing touches to a wonderful physique.

But how exactly does it work?

What is a coolsculpting procedure?

Coolsculpting is a relatively new, unique procedure that uses controlled cooling to get rid of fat cells.

It works by blasting fat at temperatures of up to -11 for short periods of time. Because of the short duration, this procedure kills fat cells without giving you frostbite. 

Over the next six to twelve weeks, the fat cells are removed from your body naturally as waste products.

Read on to find out about what bits of flab are best treated with a coolsculpting procedure.

Torso

The torso is one of the parts of the body notorious for keeping excess fat.

Sugar and hormones are the leading reasons as to why we accumulate fat in these places.

If you tend to have a lot of fat in these areas, it's a sign that you don't handle insulin well, leading to fatty deposits around the waist.

Whilst abdominal exercises such as squats and lunges help to move fat here, it can still be difficult to get the extra definition that so many people crave. 

A coolsculpting procedure will freeze fat harmlessly without damaging the skin, and get rid of the stubborn fat that always seems to hang on around the stomach and hips.

Thighs

Over the span of our lifetime, our age and hormones will change the way we store fat.

In particular, the thighs are one of the places where will see this accumulation the most.

This is also specifically true in the case of women - because of the way fat is burnt in females, ladies tend to gather more fat in the lower body.

There are exercises that can be done that help to develop muscle structure in the thighs. 

However, as with the torso, there are pockets of fat that stick around regardless.

Coolsculpting is perfect for shifting this hard to move weight from the around the inner and outer thighs.

Upper Arms

Upper arms have also been shown to be one of the most troublesome areas for people when it comes to trimming down fat. 

Coolsculpting procedures can greatly reduce fat volume in the upper arms, leading to a much more toned underarm shape. 

Besides conventional exercises, people shape this part of the body by going through Brachioplasty - which, whilst effective, is very expensive.

Furthermore, as indicated by the name of the procedure, Brachioplasty is also very invasive, and requires going under the blade.

The upper arms are where the advantages of coolsculpting really shine from a procedural point of view.

While there are a variety of ways to help you lose weight and tone up, coolsculpting is one of the premier procedures when it comes to getting rid of stubborn fat.

Its popularity has been slowly growing and many people have given it the vote of confidence.

How Custom Orthotics Can Help with Back Pain

Back pain is a common malady and most of the patients who it affects search for treatments or a combination of treatments in order to relieve their pain.

Statistical evidence shows that the majority of the population experience back pain at some point in their lives and on varying degrees.

But did you know that this - sometimes unbearable - back pain you feel can be caused by foot problems and even by your gait? The bottom of the feet is highly sensitive and the way they contact the ground can affect your back to a great extent.

The answer is here. Custom orthotics will basically help you improve your foot posture and function, resulting in favorable outcomes and pain relief. 

When Are Custom Orthotics Needed?

First of all, let's have a general look at whom is in need of custom orthotics and will benefit from them. 

Among others, when you experience a localized foot pain, an arch/heel pain, a leg/knee pain and hip or back pain or even neck pain, it looks like you suffer from mechanical problems.

Notably, the most common of all foot structural dysfunctions is a pronated foot, meaning that it has a falling arch. In all the above cases you should take your doctor's advice and consider the assistance of custom foot orthotics.

The mechanical properties of foot orthotics will help to ensure the correct positioning of the bones in your feet, ankles, and knees, as well as your muscle performance. Moreover, people who do sports find that custom orthotics help to increase their endurance, strength and performance abilities. 

Moreover, it's worth to mention that they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.

Custom Orthotics' Benefits Regarding Back Pain

To be more specific, a custom orthotic is a device inserted into the shoe, designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. This will correct any abnormal posture or way of walking, which is very important for your back.

What they actually do is reducing the stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into a proper alignment. It can be used to adjust and even out the contact between the foot and the ground, or to distribute the weight laterally, always depending on the patient and the problem.

Feet are the foundation of the body and their condition can highly affect the back, or even the whole body, as their bad condition is possible to lead to a domino effect and cause various health problems. 

Orthotics help to treat any back injuries, including soreness. When you suffer from foot-related abnormal biomechanics, correcting them can alleviate the back pain. Experts also say that orthotics could be the answer to curing leg and knee.

Last but not least, they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.

Conclusion

Back pain is tough and can change your life by intruding into your job, your activities, and even significantly change your mood. Hopefully, though, it is something that you can treat! 

If you suffer from back pain or experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, or if you need more details about our custom orthotics product, please contact us.
