Arthritis kills our
quality of life, constant pain just doing normal easy tasks takes its toll on
our psyche and keeps up from living, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Did you know that
CryoTherapy was originally used to help patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
Doctor Yamaguchi in the late 70's began with freezing temperature in short-time
duration on the surface of the skin (CryoTherapy) to help his patients deal
with the pain of arthritis.
Without the extreme pain patients were able to
manage a milder pain and easily tolerate it, often for days between treatments.
Today, a modern Whole
Body CyroTherapy sauna can deliver nearly 8-10 times colder temperatures to the
whole body all at once.
This alleviates the chronic
inflammation in the joints, allowing the body to reset, while also increasing
the collagen protein in the body.
Many CryoTherapy
believers tell how it's been 'life-changing' for them. No longer having to
avoid their favorite activities or being stuck and immobilized by pain.
Some folks have even
been able to ditch their pain medications altogether along with their other
arthritis drugs.
How Does CryoTherapy Do
That?
It is known that
CryoTherapy helps induce the collagen protein, which helps in strengthening
bones, joints, tendons and cartilage. It's also known that CryoTherapy helps to
reduce inflammation - chronic inflammation is responsible for much of the pain
suffered from rheumatoid arthritis.
We know that CryoTherapy
helps produce anti-oxidants in the blood, something else those with rheumatoid
arthritis lack in capacity.
It's hard to say exactly
why it works so well or why those who have arthritis swear by Whole Body
CryoTherapy.
We do know that it
lowers the histamine reactions in the body. Research is still on-going, but
when a 75-year old who has arthritis can go out and play tennis again with
friends, something is up. It's not a coincidence.
One clinical research
study showed noticeable improvement with between 1-3 cryotherapy sessions and after
10-15 sessions patients told of retreating symptoms and a drastic reduction in
pain.
When coupled with
physical therapy a few patients were able to ditch their wheel chairs, while
all noted improved ease of movement.
These results continued
for 6-months after the therapy. Ask your doctor if you should try Whole Body
CryoTherapy, maybe you can get off those meds too?
Now then, let's survey a
couple of research papers on this topic, shall we? The first, I'd like to make
notice of is: "Cryotherapy decreases histamine levels in the blood of
patients with rheumatoid arthritis," by E. Wojtecka-Lukasik • K.
Ksiezopolska-Orlowska • E. Gaszewska • O. Krasowicz-Towalska • P. Rzodkiewicz •
D. Maslinska • D. Szukiewicz • S. Maslinski and published in December 18, 2009
(Inflamm. Res. (2010) 59 (Suppl 2):S253-S255 DOI 10.1007/s00011-009-0144-1).
Another paper worthy of
mention is: "The Influence of Temperature and Fibril Stability on
Degradation of Cartilage Collagen by Rheumatoid Synovial Collagenase," by
Edward D. Harris, Jr., M.D., and Peter A. McCroskery, M.S. (N Engl J Med 1974;
290:1-6 DOI: 10.1056/NEJM197401032900101).
And, the last piece of
research was a pilot study, which showed yielded benefits: "Serial
whole-body cryotherapy in the criostream for inflammatory rheumatic
diseases," (PMID:18548207).
