Cryotherapy is based on surface cooling and thus a local reduction in tissue temperature. In cold air therapy, this is achieved by a continuously cooled air stream within a constant temperature range. This results in a series of thermoregulatory effects which differ from those of other forms of cold application (e.g. ice or cold compresses) and which are desirable for various indications. These include, in particular, acute and chronic pain conditions (especially in sports physiotherapy) as well as rheumatic conditions. Cold air therapy is also used to cool the skin’s surface during laser treatments.
Specifically, cryotherapy using a cold air stream has the following specific physiological effects:
