Cryo chambers represent the most effective method of delivering cryotherapy, which literally means cold therapy. Most of us consider cold conditions to be an inconvenience at best, and a dangerous situation at worst. However, in a carefully controlled environment like a cryotherapy chamber, and when administered for brief periods of time, there are actually a considerable number of benefits which can be achieved by cryotherapy.

A cryotherapy chamber can be cooled down to between negative 200 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and a person would stand upright for three to four minutes, with the head jutting out from the top, and the rest of the body inside. While the head has access to normal air and normal temperatures, the rest of the body is exposed to the cold. °CRYO systems are quoted on the cryotherapy chambers for sale page. Electric cabins are on the MECOTEC page.

Benefits of body cryotherapy

There are a number of health benefits which can be derived from cryotherapy sessions, which is why some athletes schedule sessions twice daily, and why others might participate every day for 10 consecutive days, and then go once monthly after that. Whatever scheduling works best in your case will still allow you to earn the worthwhile benefits described below:

• Manages mood disorders – one of the things that happens during cryotherapy is that physiological hormonal responses are encouraged by the ultracold conditions. Some of the hormones released at this time are adrenaline, endorphins, and noradrenalin, and these can all have a very positive effect on anxiety or depression.
• Suppresses nerve irritation – cryotherapy has the ability to numb any pain you might be feeling, especially due to irritated nerves or pinched nerves.
• Reduces migraine symptoms – by cooling and numbing the nerves in the area around your neck, cryotherapy can help relieve symptoms for migraine headaches. The blood which passes through intracranial vessels is cooled, and this serves to reduce your symptoms.
• Treats low risk tumors – cryotherapy is sometimes used to treat specific types of cancer, by freezing the cancer cells and surrounding them with crystals of ice. It has been found to be especially effective in the treatment of prostate cancer.
• Prevents dementia – research is still ongoing in this area but already promising results have been achieved by taking advantage of the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of cryotherapy, because these are situations commonly occurring for people with dementia and Alzheimer's.
• Reduces arthritic pain – cryotherapy is effective as a treatment of arthritis all on its own, and because it is so well-tolerated, it allows for the possibility of more aggressive physiotherapy.
• Treats dermatitis – atopic dermatitis is a skin condition which is characterized by chronic inflammation, and cryotherapy has been shown to be effective in managing this condition.

How a cryotherapy chamber works

Anyone who steps into a cryo chamber will immediately undergo a kind of whole body transformation. Inside the chamber, the temperature drops dramatically to between -200 and 300°F, but this is not dangerous at all because the treatment procedure and the recovery process is very simple and straightforward. Those low temperatures are achieved by a combination of liquid nitrogen and electricity, and as uncomfortable as it might sound, it is still far more comfortable than jumping into an ice bath for instance.

Once a person enters the chamber, the dry cold conditions inside penetrate through the skin, and cause body temperature sensors to signal the brain. Once the brain receives this signal, a fight or flight response is triggered. The brain will message other areas of the body to take steps to insulate and protect the vital organs situated throughout the body. After being exposed to the super low temperatures for approximately four minutes, the individual being treated will step out of the chamber, and a great deal of highly oxygenated blood rushes to all the body organs immediately.

This is what helps the recovery process, and it's what delivers all the health benefits to the body as well. Any workout program must have an effective recovery component, so the individual going through the workout can restore normal bodily conditions after physical exertion. Cryotherapy chambers operate in much the same way as any physical workout you might go through, in that the recovery process is critical to the overall success of the session. In this case, after you have been exposed to the ultra low temperatures of the chamber, your body literally commits all resources to the recovery, thus delivering the health benefits described above.

Nitrogen or electric

Cryotherapy chambers run on one of two systems. A nitrogen chamber, like the °CRYO line, cools the air with liquid nitrogen vapor that never touches the guest. An electric chamber, like MECOTEC, reaches the same cold with a compressor and no tanks to refill. Neither is "better" across the board — nitrogen chambers are typically a lower equipment cost, while electric chambers remove the recurring nitrogen supply line.
