New Little Rock clinic offers alternatives to drugs for pain relief

A new clinic could provide pain sufferers with safer alternatives to pain management.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) — With the opioid epidemic claiming lives every day, Restore Hyper Wellness and Cryotherapy is offering an alternative to prescription pills.

Owner Wesley Griffin, said they offer six different holistic treatments.

There's cryotherapy, which basically tricks your body into thinking it's freezing to death with liquid nitrogen at 240 degrees below zero for three minutes.

“Your blood rushes from your hands, feet, legs and goes all the way to your core to protect your organs. When it's there it's circling your heart and your lungs and it's getting oxygen, anti-inflammatory proteins and nutrients,” she said.

When you step out, you get a huge metabolism boost. You can burn 500 to 800 calories per session. And it helps with pain and inflammation.

They also do cryo facials, which is pressurized liquid nitrogen vapor applied to the face and neck, stimulating collagen production and decreasing pore size.

“We also do compression therapy, it's for your legs, your arms and your lower back. This treatment helps speed the body's normal recovery process,” Griffin said.

They also have an infrared sauna and hyperbaric treatment

‘Pressurized air will shrink the oxygen that way it can go a little bit further and faster inside your blood plasma so it can go to a lot more places in your body,” she said.

There's also IV nutritional drip therapy.

“You might've seen this in Vegas or other places but we offer a menu of different drips we have that are proprietary blends for restore,” Griffin said.

Griffin said she hopes people utilize these natural treatments.

“It's basically giving people healthier options to manage their pain,” she said.

Restore Hyper Wellness opens this Thursday in the Pleasant Ridge shopping center in West Little Rock from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., you can learn about their services and see if any of them are right for you. Here’s a link to their Facebook page if you’d like to try them out.
