Abstract:
Cryotherapy as applied to deep lying tissues is a new technique in orthopedics. In this paper, 120cases were reported. Using "Liquid-air double-layer cryo-needle", lowback pain, the painful heel andtennis elbow were treated by freezing the dorsal ramus of the spinal nerve, the calcaneal nerve andthe terminal branches of the radial nerve in elbow. The results were good. The authors believed that cryotherapy was simple, safe and effective, and no side-efffects and complications were observed.
