Understanding Nozzle Attachments in Localised Cryotherapy Devices (CO₂) Localised Cryotherapy devices that use CO₂ are equipped with a range of nozzle attachments, each designed to optimise treatment effectiveness for specific areas or conditions. Choosing the appropriate nozzle is important for achieving targeted therapeutic outcomes, whether you’re aiming to reduce inflammation, treat a joint, or cover […]

Cryostimulation Explained We have mentioned optimal temperature ranges but what temperatures are still effective? Research indicates that achieving a large temperature gradient, ideally between -130 °C and -150 °C (-202 °F to -238 °F), is necessary for consistent and optimal activation of true thermal shock. Effective responses can be observed at -110 °C (-166 °F), though results may be less consistent […]

Cryostimulation is a form of cold shock therapy that involves the controlled application of extremely cold temperatures to the body’s surface, primarily targeting the superficial layers of the skin. The aim is to safely lower skin temperature to an optimal range of 2°C – 5°C (35.6°F – 41°F), which effectively triggers physiological responses, though true […]

The therapeutic use of cold temperatures in medicine dates back thousands of years, with evidence of cold water and ice treatments being employed in ancient Egypt around 2500 B.C. for healing and revitalisation. Over time, cold therapy evolved and in the late 1970s, modern Cryostimulation was introduced, initially as a treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. […]
