Neuro Cryo Stimulation

Neuro Cryo Stimulation, also known as hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy, is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment of pain, inflammation and musculo-skeletal trauma.

The treatment stimulates the nervous system by the use of CO2 at -78°C under high pressure which causes the skin temperature to fall from 32°C to 2°C within 30 seconds, creating a 'thermal shock' factor.

The treatment's physiological effects on the body include:

Analgesic: Quickly provides relief for approximately 3 hours!

Vasomotor: It triggers a rapid cycle of constriction and dilation to drain the vascular system of substances that cause pain, inflammation and swelling. It re-balances the pressure of body fluids that cause swelling and pain.

Anti-Inflammatory: It controls the production and synthesis of the enzymes that are responsible for acute inflammation.

Muscle Relaxant: The above three effects combined with the vibration from sound waves help the muscle fibres to relax.

The efficacy of this efficient treatment is validated in many areas including:

Where there is pain, Rheumatology/Osteoarthritis, Trauma/Sports Injuries/Bruising, Post-surgical, Vascular, Inflammation, Edema, Sciatica, Sprains, Plantar Fasciitis/Heel spurs/Morton's Neuroma/Achilles Tendonitis
