Cryogenic physiotherapy mobilizes the immune system, has analgesic
action intensifies the peripheral circulation, etc. This procedure
used to treat asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis,
eczema, allergies, burns, injuries and other diseases. However, positive results
achieved, provided that upon contact with a cryogenic gas to the patient's body
will be given adequate physiotherapy effects.
absence of quantitative criteria for assessing that impact and a clear understanding
on the mechanism of the effect, lead to what many believe to
