Local cryotherapy is an effective treatment that involves applying extreme cold to a specific area of the body using a stream of liquid nitrogen. This procedure helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue regeneration. At Zdrowotel Łeba, located in picturesque Łeba, cryotherapy is part of our comprehensive physiotherapy offer.
How does cryotherapy work and how long does it last?
Local cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen (temperatures from -100°C to -160°C) to a targeted area. The brief cooling triggers analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, reduces swelling, and speeds up healing and tissue regeneration. The treatment lasts 3 minutes.
