Criotherapy
A therapy which consists in the topical application od cold. In our Center we use liquid nitrogen the temperature of which is approximately 160 Degrees Celsius. Topical decreasing of the temperature of tissues is to eliminate the pain and inflammation. This therapy has a wide range of application in acute inflammation conditions, in various kinds of pain, swelling and in increased muscle tension as well as in spasticity. Cooling with nitrogen for more than one minute results in a decrease of muscular tension. Criotherapy does not overload the circulatory system.
Indications for local criotherapy:
- acute and chronic diseases of joints and articular cartilage (Reumatoid Arthritis – RA, gout, Bechterev Syndrome)
- spinal pain syndrome
- rheumatism of soft tissues (for instance tendon inflammation)
- consequences of accidents and other traumas such as twisting, dislocations, contusions, swelling
- surgical diseases such as contractures of joints
- neurological diseases, for instance spastic and transverse hemiparesis, myasthenia, inflammation of front corners of spinal cord, acute nerve inflammation.

The dates of therapy sessions
A proparly qualified team of workers, fully professional and incredibly engaged in working with other people. This is what the therapy at the Euromed Center is like. Knowledge, experience and an individualized approach to each patient makes the effects of the exercises incredible. My stay at the Center changed my whole life. Anybody who goes through this at least once will not be sorry and will certainly return here for a better version of himself.
