Inflammation is a localized physical condition in which part of the body becomes reddened, swollen, hot, and often painful, especially as a reaction to injury or infection. Chronic inflammation can be caused by conditions like autoimmune disorders. It’s also linked to a range of health problems such as arthritis, obesity, digestive disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, some cancers, and many other issues.

Whole-body cryotherapy was invented to affect a human’s body at low temperatures without discomforting feelings. The temperature during cryo session is about -170°C, but liquid nitrogen provide “dry” cold, so your body is not overcooled.
Whole-body cryotherapy and inflammation reduction is an actual question for sports and medicine, gaining popularity day by day.
Cryotherapy benefits for inflammation
Whole-body cryotherapy affects all 4 signs of inflammation – redness, heat, swelling, and pain.
The principle is as follows:
- the intense cooling induces a number of physiological changes such as stimulation of blood flow to an injured area thereby reducing swelling.
- Inflammatory mediators are reduced, inducing a powerful immune system response.
- The cold also increases pain thresholds and thereby reduces pain, so cryotherapy can be used in both acute and chronic pain.
- Cryotherapy provides a non-invasive, pain-free and quick treatment to soothe itchy, sore, dry and reddened skin.
