WHAT IS CRYOTHERAPY?
WHY USE CRYOTHERAPY? Whole-body Cryotherapy is currently used to alleviate inflammation and pain in arthritis and osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. It has been found useful in neurological diseases and rheumatic diseases and for its sedative effect in skin conditions such as psoriasis and neurodermatitis. It has already been demonstrated that when applied for short times, Cryotherapy stimulates physiological reactions of an organism which result in analgesic, anti-swelling, and hormonal, immune, and circulatory system reactions. There is also a hormonal response which increases body metabolism and the concentrations of adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisone and endorphins. Symptoms can be reduced for psychiatric disorders such as anxiety–depressive syndrome. |
