Cryonic Medical - Hyperbaric Gaseous Cryotherapy


Cryonic-Medical have gathered a large number of clinical/scientific and observational studies to support their claims that Hyperbaric Gaseous Cryotherapy stimulates the nervous system via a rapid drop in temperature. The resulting thermal shock from the sudden drop in temperature under pressure triggers a systemic vasoconstriction. There is evidence that shows that sympathetic activity modulates inflammation and the release of cytokines and that involvement of the autonomic nervous system is important in the treatment of inflammation.

The translated Clinical and Observational Studies generally all point to the same conclusions. Advanced Cryotherapy produces:

1) A powerful analgesic effect
2) Anti-inflammatory response
3) Vasomotor Effect - Reflex
4) Muscle Relaxant

Some of the benefits accruing from the above physiological effects to patient and practitioner have shown to be:

1) Generally a quicker than usual recovery time.
2) Reduction in the use of anti-inflammatories.
3) Increase in the amplitude of movement post surgery
4) A higher than normal success rate in treating and rehabilitating chronic injuries.
5) Control of swelling and quick drainage of haematomas
6) Streamlined efficient and effective treatments

The scope of treatment is indeed broad:

Rheumatology - Inflammation, sciatica, Sudeck's disease, torticollis, osteo-arthritis, arthritis, epicondylitis, lumbago, tendonitis, etc
Traumatology - Oedemata, haematomas, sprains, muscle strains, contusions
And many other conditions and injuries - Bruising, scars, wounds, sutures, etc
