The high-quality cryochamber available to Alhambra guests is located at the 23rd Military Spa Hospital. It is an advanced therapeutic device that uses extremely low temperatures to treat a variety of conditions and improve overall health. Cryochamber treatments, also known as systemic cryotherapy, involve brief exposure of the entire body to very low temperatures, usually in the range of -110°C to -160°C.
How the cryochamber works?
The cryochamber consists of two stages:
- Preparation: The patient enters the vestibule, where the temperature is around -60°C, so that the body can gradually adapt to the cold.
- Main chamber: the patient then moves to the main chamber, where the temperature is much lower, usually between -110°C and -160°C. The stay in this chamber usually lasts between 1 and 3 minutes.
Indications for cryotherapy in the cryochamber:
- Rheumatic diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis
- Musculoskeletal disorders: back pain, sports injuries, tendon and ligament inflammation
- Skin diseases: psoriasis, atopic dermatitis
- Neurological: multiple sclerosis, neuralgia, autoimmune diseases
- Improved recovery and fitness: faster recovery after exercise, improved physical performance
Benefits of cryotherapy in a cryochamber:
- Pain reduction: Extreme cold temperatures act as a natural analgesic, reducing pain by reducing nerve activity.
- Reduction of inflammation: Cryotherapy helps to reduce inflammation in tissues, which is beneficial for many inflammatory conditions.
- Improved circulation: After leaving the cryochamber, the blood vessels dilate, which improves blood circulation and tissue oxygenation.
- Increase in endorphins: Cryochamber treatments can stimulate the release of endorphins, which improves mood and well-being.
- Tissue regeneration: Extreme cold promotes regenerative processes in tissues, which is beneficial for sports injuries and tissue damage.
- Strengthening the immune system: Regular cryotherapy treatments can help strengthen the immune system.
