Carboxytherapy is a new direction in the treatment of joints, spine and the whole body at the REAVIZ clinic

The essence of the method

Degenerative-dystrophic changes in cartilage tissue and vertebrae provoke pain. Typically, pathological changes occur due to hypoxia (lack of oxygen), as well as a deficiency of nutrients in tissues due to excessive stress or metabolic disorders. As a result, the muscles become denser, tense, spasms and painful sensations occur. Carboxytherapy for the back and joints is a new treatment method using carbon dioxide. During the procedure, the doctor injects medical carbon dioxide into the joints or muscles of the back near the spine using a special device. After the injection, capillaries expand, blood flow increases, and metabolism accelerates.

Help: Even after the first session of carboxytherapy, the functionality of the body increases, cells and tissues are saturated with nutrients, pain and spasm disappear, and immune defense is activated. Weakened cartilage, blood vessels, and nerve processes are supplied with oxygen, and the symptoms of degenerative disorders become less pronounced. After the procedure, the development of pathology slows down. Carboxytherapy is carried out using special equipment. This device is designed to gently introduce carbon dioxide. Don’t worry, a purified substance is used during the session, which is confirmed by quality certificates. CO2 is not dangerous to the body, it is eliminated in 10-15 minutes.

Carboxytherapy of the back for pain in the lower back, neck, osteochondrosis

Osteochondrosis is a pathology of the spine caused by both age-related changes and other external factors, which is characterized by changes in the vertebrae and intervertebral discs.

Carbon dioxide injections for osteochondrosis are actively used in modern clinics. Carboxytherapy of the spine is indicated for herniated intervertebral discs, protrusions, and other acute and chronic back diseases.

The result of the procedure is a reduction in stagnation in tissues, improved blood circulation, and activation of lymphatic drainage. In addition, metabolism improves, it has a relaxing effect on tense muscles and reduces back and lower back pain.

This type of treatment is successfully used for chronic pain syndromes, as well as in cosmetology and dietetics to combat excess body weight and cellulite.

The carboxytherapy procedure for the spine is successfully combined with other treatment methods. This allows it to be used in complex treatment and rehabilitation of patients.

Mechanism of action

The invasive carboxytherapy method is based on the use of sterile carbon dioxide, which is administered to the patient by injection subcutaneously or intradermally. Since a local state of hypercapnia occurs at the injection site, this causes vasodilation, improved blood circulation, blood flow with oxygen, improved metabolic processes and the removal of metabolic products retained in the cells. The positive effects of invasive carboxytherapy are explained by the fact that carbon dioxide allows it to react almost instantly at the cellular level and interact with fermented components of plasma, protein, and carbohydrate components to form active carbon dioxide and its products, ensuring normalization of pH in tissues. An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in cells and tissues is perceived by them as an external activator of physiological life support processes.

Carbon dioxide is supplied through injections into certain areas of the skin or muscle. After the procedure, the blood condition improves. This is a natural phenomenon, since carbon dioxide is produced in the body, it stimulates all organs and tissues through the blood.

But as we age, all processes slow down and the amount of the substance in the body decreases. Because of this, the space of the blood vessels narrows and its throughput is impaired. After carboxytherapy, blood circulation increases, the affected areas are saturated with useful substances, so their functionality is gradually restored. After the injection, the body is in a state of stress, and hypoxia intensifies. The lumen of the vessels expands, blood circulation is stimulated, after which oxygen begins to be actively released and saturate the tissues. According to studies, the level of beneficial gas after the procedure increases by 3 times or more. To increase the effectiveness of the procedure, injections are made into the most affected areas. CO2 is removed from the body, and oxygen continues to work. Carboxytherapy is used for diseases of the spine and joints - then CO2 is injected into the muscles that surround the affected vertebrae or joints.

Indications

• Gas injections are used to treat osteochondrosis at any stage, especially during the weakening of the symptoms of a chronic disease.
• In severe forms of pathology, which is accompanied by a bulging intervertebral disc or intervertebral herniation, this technique is also effective.
• Carboxytherapy is used for the following diseases of the musculoskeletal system: Arthritis.
• Arthrosis.
• Rheumatic diseases.
• Inflammatory or dystrophic lesions of periarticular structures.
• Constant pain in the muscles or joints.

When is the technique used?

Most often, carboxytherapy is used for osteochondrosis. It can relieve a person of pain and improve his overall well-being. Previously, when this method did not exist, most patients went on vacation during the rehabilitation period to resorts where there is clean air with a high oxygen content.

The procedure helps to increase the degree of joint mobility, improves the flexibility of the spine, relieves pain, removes toxins, eliminates swelling, etc. The person ceases to experience discomfort. Carboxytherapy often helps to transfer osteochondrosis into remission. But it is best to use it in combination with other methods. The procedure is also effective for protrusions and hernias, arthritis and arthrosis.

In addition to its beneficial effect on muscle tissue, carboxytherapy is excellent for bags under the eyes, helps improve skin tone, get rid of sagging chin, etc.

Contraindications

Post-infarction or post-stroke condition. Due to the acceleration of blood flow, there is a risk of increasing the area of ​​damage in the heart muscle. Epileptic seizures, mental disorders (possible attack after injection). Angina pectoris (a form of myocardial ischemia, which is accompanied by chest pain). Functional failure of the heart, kidneys or lungs. Liver diseases. Severe form of hypertension. Due to vascular spasm, a hypertensive crisis or stroke may develop. Severe inflammatory processes of tissues or organs. There is a possibility of infection of the area at the injection site and intensification of the pathological process. Period of pregnancy, lactation. There is no evidence that the procedure is safe for the child. Blood clotting disorder. Simultaneous use of diuretics from the group of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and anticoagulants. Nasal and menstrual bleeding may increase.

The effect of the procedure

Doctors and patients notice positive changes after carboxytherapy sessions: Blood circulation increases in the affected areas. Swelling disappears, the pressure of the vertebrae on the nerve endings decreases. Cerebral circulation disorders and dizziness weaken or disappear. The outflow of lymphatic fluid improves. The functionality of the damaged segments of the spine is restored. The risk of further development of vertebral or joint pathologies is reduced. The activity of the spinal cord is restored. The cartilage layer is saturated with nutrients, and the regeneration of damaged tissue is accelerated. Spasms disappear, as well as pain in muscles and ligaments. The inflammatory process is reduced. Signs of meteopathy (meteosensitivity) are relieved. Headaches caused by diseases of the cervical spine disappear. The functioning of the nervous system improves and sleep improves. Venous blood flow is restored. The breakdown of fats accelerates. Metabolic processes are stimulated, the body is cleansed of waste and toxins. The body begins to produce collagen. The body's defenses are strengthened. As you can see, carboxyterpy is beneficial for the whole body.

Reference. Gas injections demonstrate anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, rejuvenating, and restorative effects. During the procedure, no chemicals are used that can irritate tissues. Carboxytherapy is safe and effective, and results can be seen after the first injection. 1 session lasts no longer than 5 – 10 minutes. After the carboxytherapy procedure, the patient can immediately return to normal activities.

An allergic reaction to gas injections is impossible, this is due to the fact that CO2 is a natural gas that is produced in the body. The risk of infection is also minimal, since sterile instruments and purified gas are used during the procedure.

Stages of the procedure

First, the doctor conducts a diagnosis to identify all areas that need injections and identify contraindications. The specialist must have a certificate that allows him to conduct carboxytherapy sessions. To ensure a positive result, injections are administered into the main areas of concentration of nerves and muscles around the affected joint or along the length of the spinal column. It is important to treat all areas suffering from hypoxia.

How is carboxytherapy performed?

The patient sits on a chair or lies down on a couch. The areas where carbon dioxide is introduced are treated with an antiseptic solution to avoid infection. Using a special device, mini-injections are made that cause virtually no pain. The depth of administration, appropriate pressure, and dose of CO2 are selected by the doctor individually for each patient. During the procedure, the patient may feel a slight burning sensation and crackling under the skin (this is how the gas is absorbed). After a few minutes, the discomfort disappears. After gas injections, it is not recommended to rest; on the contrary, you need to take a walk or do simple physical exercises to speed up blood circulation. This way the effect of the procedure will be more pronounced.

Patients feel relief after the first session of gas injections, after the first procedure. The duration of the therapeutic course is from 3 to 10 sessions. The decision on the duration of the course is made by the doctor, and he takes into account age, general condition, and severity of the pathology. The effect after 1 course lasts for 12 months. To prevent exacerbation of the disease, the patient must undergo 1 additional session once every 4 weeks.

Important: After carboxytherapy, you need to protect the injection site from water. In addition, taking a bath or visiting the sauna is prohibited. It is also better to avoid tight underwear. According to statistics, negative reactions occur in no more than 10% of patients: Swelling, which disappears after a few minutes. A slight cracking under the skin at the injection site also goes away quickly. Most often, injections do not cause discomfort.

Price

Carboxytherapy cannot be done in all clinics in Russia; this procedure is carried out only in large medical centers in large cities. However, despite this, this area of ​​treatment is actively developing. The price of 1 session and the entire course depends on the level of the medical institution, equipment, treatment area, and number of procedures. B - prices for carboxytherapy sessions are quite low, so you, dear patients, have the opportunity to immediately purchase a course of treatment of 3-5 sessions.

Preparation for carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy does not require special preparation, but it is still important to consider a number of aspects before going to the session.

Step 1. You need to study information about this treatment method and understand whether it is worth trying at all. In some cases, a person himself knows what diseases he has, and among them there may be those with which carboxytherapy cannot be attended.

Step 2. You should make an appointment with a doctor so that after examination and diagnosis you know the exact location of the problem area on the spine.

Reviews

Most patients who have experienced the effects of carboxytherapy are satisfied with the result. They say the injections are virtually painless, but there may be some minor bruising on the treated area, which quickly disappears.

• Elena

I suffered from severe arthritis in my hands, and on the advice of a friend, I decided to try treatment with gas injections. After the first session, my condition improved: pain and spasms disappeared, I can clench my hand into a fist and hold not very heavy objects. Now I take the course every 6 months. The disease has almost disappeared, so I recommend it to anyone who suffers from a similar problem.

• Igor

I was diagnosed with an intervertebral hernia after I fell on my back in the winter. The doctor gave me a referral, so it turned out cheaper than I expected. Before the first session, I could not change clothes on my own due to severe pain, so the doctors helped me. After the 3rd procedure, I was already able to bend over on my own! Small abrasions appeared on my back in the injection area, which disappeared after a couple of days. However, this is a small thing compared to the fact that I again gained freedom of movement!

• Alyona

I was diagnosed with radiculopathy, the vertebrae were pinched by the roots of the spinal nerves and blood vessels. The doctor recommended carboxytherapy to me, but I doubted that it would help me, since the severe headache, heart pain, and cramps in the arms and legs made life very difficult. So I decided and didn’t regret it! After 3 sessions, the unpleasant symptoms disappeared, so my opinion about carbon dioxide treatment has changed dramatically!
