CRIOTHERAPY
Therapeutic application of cold
Cold Hot Point


Despite the enormous clinical evidence for the use of cold in different conditions, their use is far from routine.

There is much confusion and ignorance concerning its effects and application methods.

After analyzing the most fundamental aspects of this therapy and its use of advanced technologies.

Cryotherapy, the cold and Application Fundamentals

The first scientific papers regarding the utilzacion cold as a therapeutic agent can be traced back to the 40s.

At that time the dr. schaubel, an orthopedic surgeon to perform one of the first reports regarding their systematic use in the postoperative orthopedic patients.

In their study, the doctor applied "ice packs" on the surgical wounds in 345 patients over a period of 48 hours, while another group of 479 patients did not receive this treatment.

The results of this experiment in the treated group showed a marked decreased need of immobilization (42.3% versus 5.3%), inflammation and also lower temperature.

None of the patients in this group had bruises or hemarthrosis, as opposed to 16 patients in the group that received no treatment.

Finally, patients treated with cold fewer painkillers which indicates they had less pain.

These results led to Kenneth Knight, Ph.D. to suggest that there was undoubtedly a strong theoretical base pra the use of cryotherapy.

According to this author, local hypothermia has been used to reduce the harm caused by low oxygenation and control the swelling, so it will be faster movements, which mitigate the sequences immobility.

Cryotherapy, physiological effects of Cold

between the effects of localized application of cold, are the following:

Anesthesia and Analgesia:
The reduction in temperature causes a reduction in nerve conduction velocity (synaptic delay).

on the other hand a rise in the threshold of sensory stimulation for pain (analgesia) and even in complete abolition of the prolonged pain (anesthesia cold).

reduction of tissue damage
the cold reduces the damage caused by inflammation and tissue hypoxia, due to a decrease of enzyme activity and tissue matabolica demand.

These effects are particularly important, and indeed knight postulated that the benefits are due to cryotherapy fenomenos not primarily metabolic and circulatory.

Control of edema
the cold reduces swelling by limiting liquid infiltration in tissues, ocacionar in part by a reduction in the permeability of blood vessels.

cryotherapy, therapeutic use of cold
Cold localized applications, having anti-inflammatory action, decongestants, anesthetic and analgesic, is indicated in various medical specialties as:

flebology,   dermatology,   sport medicine,
traumatology,   kinesiology,   reumatology, etc.


The following are just some of the many indications of localized cold.
sprains    tears
injuries    luxations
Superficial thrombophlebitis    cellulite
Post-treatment cosmetologico congestion
post-congestion depilacion    contractures
Pre-anesthetic effect minor
anesthetic effect prior to and during the electrodepilacion
anesthetic effect prior to and during the dermopigmentacion
masking effect of pain and locking


cryotherapy, material application
when one thinks about the application of cold, immediately assumes that it is the most appropriate use of ice cubes, who have tried know what it is uncomfortable and complex that.

Current technology gives us the chance to work with a simple, clean, high efficiency and, above all, which is available on at any time, without resorting to a cooler or uncomfortable frizer.

gun Cold cold/hot is a cooling system with no pumps or gas pressure only makes it through a solid state semiconductor wafer, with the consequent advantage of electrical worker.

This allows quickly and in just five minutes, temperatures below zero degree


the availability faster, at a place and time they need, from a portable generator Cold enables professionals to expand the spectrum of elements therapeutic use, with consequent benefit to the patients and their.

another therapeutic use
the cold/hot not only provides fast and efficient therapeutic cold, but also provides the opportunity to work with localized heat in two levels of intensity

this way the cold/hot is available to the professional can make use of the therapeutic effect of the cold, as well as heat.

use:

application is made in a timely, thermal contact with the head area required. this is done very smoothly moving across the area and remove the skin surface

Please note that the effect of cold and heat, is cumulative, so it should be attentive to the demonstration of the patient.

in the case of wanting to use on infected areas, injuries, etc.. it is important to implement them on some mantle or polyethylene plastic, with the aim of maintaining asepsis.

with respect to the time of application, it is normal for 3 to 8 minutes per session on a daily basis (according to the condition). This can be repeated up to 3 times on the same day, if circumstances so require.

cryotherapy, the future of this therapeutic
professionals who are accustomed to their field using the various elements that provides physical therapy, have attended in recent years a number of innovations and developments that were gradually being accepted, to become a unique therapeutic

this is the case with the laser, magnetic fields, etc.

result in a greater amount of clinical knowledge to increase their use, the fact of having a

technology that allows for very fast and uncomplicated an excellent therapeutic Cold
