NEURO CRYO STIMULATION

The basic process All equipment used in the practice of NEUROCRYOSTIMULATION (also known as hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy) is patented. The use of CO2 at -78°C under high pressure causes the skin temperature to fall from 32°C to 2°C within 30 seconds; this reaction is known as a : thermal shock

Critical Conditions for Thermal Shock
For Thermal Shock, the cutaneous neuroreceptors must be stimulated by a sudden drop in skin temperature, from 32°C to 4°C, in 30 seconds, at a pressure greater than 1 bar. Thermal Shock can only be achieved when sudden and dramatic changes in temperature and pressure affect the neuro-receptors.

The Neuroreceptors that Respond to Thermal Shock
Three types of cutaneous neuro-receptors react to Thermal Shock. They are found within the top 5mm of the skin above the fat layer and the deep tissues. The receptors, also known as extero-receptors, are:
1) Nociceptors, which respond to pain
2) Ruffini/Krause neuro-receptors that react to heat and cold
3) Pacini neuro-receptors that react to atmospheric pressure and vibration from sound waves

The Thermal Shock Process
The Cryonic appliance delivers a cold intensity of -78°C and a cooling speed (50 bar) from a distance of about 8 centimetres from the skin in humans. When the spray of gas hits the skin it is at -7°C and at approximately 1 bar. The gas is converted into specks of micro-crystals of ice on the skin surface. The cold on the skin surface dissipates heat at a very high rate through a process of sublimation. The heat loss, per speck of micro-crystal ice, is equivalent to the elimination of 25 kilojoules. The force at which the gas comes out of the jet of the Cryonic device also generates sound waves at 400 Hz. The combination of cold at a very low temperature delivered under high pressure and speed results in Thermal Shock.

Response of the organism to Thermal Shock
These sudden and brutal environmental changes cause the neuro-receptors to send alarm messages to the hypothalamus where the messages are decoded and forwarded to the cortex, which responds with a neuro-vegetative reflex.

Effects on the Organism
The natural responses of the organism to Thermal Shock as a result of the NeuroCryoStimulation treatment are:
1) Analgesic: The treatment quickly provides temporary relief for up to 3 hours.
2) Vasomotor: It triggers a rapid cycle of constriction and dilation to drain the vascular system of substances that cause pain, inflammation and swelling. It re-balances the pressure of body fluids that cause swelling and pain.
3) Anti-inflammatory: It controls the production and synthesis of the enzymes that are responsible for acute inflammation.
4) Muscle relaxant: The above three effects combined with the vibration from sound waves help the muscle fibres to relax.

TESTIMONIALS

Cryonic Medical has received various testimonials from sports medical professionals and practitioners who have used the Cryonic Medical products on a day to day basis. They have seen the clinical results of the NeuroCryoStimulation with it becoming a key part of their treatment for various sports injuries.

We have compiled some of the testimonials received below and listed them by sport and also listed the testimonials we have received in hard copy for download

RUGBY - St.George Illawarra Dragons

"I use Cryonic Medical's CRYO ONE to deliver NeuroCryoStimulation to any suitable acute injury, as soon as possible. I have found that the anti-inflammatory and vasomotor effects that the CRYO ONE delivers can significantly reduce the pain and swelling from acute soft tissue injury, and the results achieved are far superior than when using ice packs. It also appears to quickly reduce the amount of muscle spasm associated with acute injury which is difficult to achieve when massage is contraindicated. In this way, an athlete can get moving earlier, get exercising earlier, get running earlier and return to play earlier - with less muscle atrophy from the reduced inactivity."

"I have also found it a very useful tool in the rehabilitation of athletes following major joint reconstructive surgery. We use the Cryonic Medical device pre-training to alleviate any discomfort when doing rehabilitative exercises - thereby improving the performance of these exercises. We also use the device at the end of an exhaustive rehabilitation session to settle down any niggling pain, improve recovery the following day, which allows the athlete to train better the next day. The cumulative effect of this optimizes our rehab."

SKIING - French Ski Federation

"On a serious sprain: after two sessions, the patient could put her boot on again and regain the necessary mobility to practise skiing. On the morning of the race: extra session with the same goal and she participated in the race, against all expectations: 6th place at the Super Giant."

Stéphane AZZOLIN, Physiotherapist
French Ski Federation - Downhill Group

BASKETBALL – CSP Limoges

"I use it mainly for it's anti-inflammatory, myo-relaxing (for spasms) and analgesic properties. The immediate and durable effect meets with my players' requirements and provides a response to the necessity of results. At the end of each training session, and within a few seconds, I can treat tendonitis, haematomas (1 or 2 treatments are sufficient to make them disappear), post traumatic oedemas and pain due to contact (sometimes violent). A thermal shock to the lymphatic nodes with a spray on the femoral triangle and then another thermal shock on the popliteal hollow gives wonderful results from the muscular and physical recovery point of view. It is working so much that sometimes I feel frustrated because I don't have to massage the legs of my players as they prefer Cryonic."

Francois Buffaud Physiotherapist
CSP LIMOGES (Basketball)

BOXING – Dr. Peter Stehling

"Regina Halmish (28) is Germany's boxing queen. She has a powerful punch in the ring and stuns with her beauty outside it. Regina's beauty secret and weapon is the Cryonic gun that enables Dr. Peter Stehling of Karlsruhet treat the bruises and swellings after her fights using the NeuroCryoStimulation technique. Regina says "I attribute my looks to the treatments that I have received over the past two years. Normally the bruises remain for about a week."

CLINICAL STUDIES

Cryonic-Medical have gathered a large number of clinical/scientific and observational studies to support their claims that Hyperbaric Gaseous Cryotherapy stimulates the nervous system via a rapid drop in temperature. The resulting thermal shock from the sudden drop in temperature under pressure triggers a systemic vasoconstriction. There is evidence that shows that sympathetic activity modulates inflammation and the release of cytokines and that involvement of the autonomic nervous system is important in the treatment of inflammation. The translated Clinical and Observational Studies generally all point to the same conclusions.

Advanced Cryotherapy produces:
1) A powerful analgesic effect
2) Anti-inflammatory response
3) Vasomotor Effect - Reflex
4) Muscle Relaxant

Some of the benefits accruing from the above physiological effects to patient and practitioner have shown to be:
1) Generally a quicker than usual recovery time.
2) Reduction in the use of anti-inflammatories.
3) Increase in the amplitude of movement post surgery
4) A higher than normal success rate in treating and rehabilitating chronic injuries.
5) Control of swelling and quick drainage of haematomas
6) Streamlined efficient and effective treatments
