contact with cold water causes the human sensation of burning and pain on the skin,
If the water to enter too quickly, perhaps even cases of heart attacks.
Therefore, despite the avowed healing effect of winter swimming,
engaged in them only a few. The same happens with the "system Ivanova, man
especially not too healthy and young but it is difficult to make the first steps towards
overcome the natural fear of cold water.
But in the case of cryotherapy is different, despite the extremely low temperatures
gas, the majority of patients (90 - 95%) called this process a pleasant and agree
repeat procedure. The reason for this perception is that gas removes
heat is much worse than water, so the rate of change of skin temperature in cryotherapeutic
cab in 2 - 2,5 times lower than when swimming in cold water. In addition, the cabin
filled for 10 -15 seconds, and cold discomfort experienced is not the whole body simultaneously,
but only that part which is currently coming into contact with cold gas. These
the benefits of cryotherapy appeared by themselves, with further improvement
cryo-therapeutic facilities must be committed to their preservation.
increase the velocity of gas around the patient's body and getting into the flow
gas of small droplets of liquid nitrogen worsens the comfort of procedures. Speed
gas shall not exceed 1 m / sec. A contact with the skin of the nitrogen fog is simply not
acceptable. Unfortunately, patients and doctors has been suggested that it
visual discomfort, determines the result of medical procedures. Some
cryo-therapeutic systems developers knowingly allow penetration
small drops of nitrogen in the treatment room and patients from this painful experience
sensations.
According to this principle constasct procedures in plants "Criomed" (Moscow). Developers
do not hide that consciously reinforce the cold discomfort. Acute sense
cold, which does not allow the patient a long time in the cockpit, so the procedure
in plants "Criomed" much shorter and require less liquid nitrogen. "Hard"
sensations experienced by patients can trigger heart attacks.
But the main thing with this approach reduces the therapeutic effect of cryotherapy. After
if treatment were needed discomfort of cold on the skin, bathing in
ice-cold water would be a major and popular resort. But, in practice
The situation is different. But reducing the time the patient's stay in the cabin due to
inability to endure discomfort, not only discourages repeat the procedure
but many times reduces the medicinal effect.
therapeutic effect of cryotherapy comes after the skin is cooled to 0
degrees, and this should be located in the cab not less than 60 seconds. The best result
get patients to withstand the procedure in 2 ... 3 min.
procedures lasting less than 60 are useless. Thus, cold treatment, if
it is organized properly, should be enjoyable. Should not be heroically endure
cold stimulation, use of modern equipment cryotherapeutic
constascted taking into account the convenience of patients.
