procedure What is the
procedure Even the name can be understood,that carbon dioxide is used for the procedure.
It is this substance with the help of a special device that is injected point-wise into the spasmodic muscles. What happens in the body?
The intake of carbon dioxide is perceived as hypoxia - that is, the lack of oxygen, and hence the lack of nutrients for the implementation of such vital processes as hematogenesis and protein synthesis in muscles.
The organism throws all its resources to the problem zone - to the place of microinjection of carbon dioxide, - the capillaries expand, the blood flow increases, the metabolism is accelerated.
In other words, the body begins to work hard. As a result, the pain syndrome is naturally removed and spasm goes away, the immune and metabolic systems are stimulated.
Already after five minutes, carbon dioxide is released through the lungs and kidneys, but oxygen remains in the cells and continues to work.
The effect can be compared with the effect of yoga or respiratory gymnastics by the Buteyko method, when a delay in breathing and subsequent inhalation causes a powerful influx of oxygen to the tissues.
Implementation history
During the rehabilitation period after treatment of almost all diseases - including musculoskeletal system - trips to the resort have been recommended at all times. 
The Czech Karlovy Vary, Marjan and Francische Lazne are already one of the favorite places for restoring strength and just a healthy stay for Russians.
Here is proposed what is nowhere else in the world: clean air, unique mineral water, healing mud - and carboxytherapy, among others.
It was at the sanatorium of Karlovy Vary that this procedure was introduced for the first time, and it soon gained wide popularity throughout Europe.
Today pnevopunktura also used in cosmetic purposes - to eliminate scars, scars, stretch marks and cellulite deposits, with the aim of rejuvenation, increase skin turgor, eliminate bags and circles under the eyes, flabby cheeks and chin.
Not so long ago it was introduced in the territory of Russia.

Some patients experience fear of the procedure, as they suffer a phobia of injections.
In this case, fears are absolutely superfluous - no one will doze a patient with a needle a dozen times in the most painful places on the body.
The pneumopuncture procedure is performed using a special device - a medical gun. In the clinics of Russia the devices of European production - French or German - are mainly used.
Purified medical carbon dioxide is introduced into the reservoir of the gun - you can always ask to show you the relevant certificates of quality control and compliance with standards.
Indications and contraindications for gas injections
Pneumopuncture is indicated for:
- acute and chronic diseases of the spine and joints associated with degenerative changes in tissues: osteochondrosis, arthritis, intervertebral hernias, etc.;
- heart and vascular disease;
- permanent pain of a different origin;
- disorders of the digestive tract;
- defects in appearance - scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, flabbiness of the skin, etc.
On video, non-injectable carboxytherapy used in cosmetology:
Osteochondrosis is a pathology of the spine caused by both age-related changes in the body and other external factors characterized by changes in the vertebrae and intervertebral discs, followed by the formation of solid bone growths-osteophytes.
Pulses press on adjacent tissues, infringe on muscles and nerves, thereby causing inflammation, severe pain and mobility disorders.
Based on reviews of satisfied patients with osteochondrosis, carboxytherapy is particularly effective, as it stimulates blood flow to the problem area, restores metabolism( and, therefore, prevents further salt deposits in the tissues) and cartilage tissues naturally.
With spinal hernia, gas injections also give a quick and lasting result.
As practice shows, surgical removal of the hernia is ineffective - sooner or later the protrusion will occur in another zone if the main problem that causes deformation of the intervertebral disc with subsequent nerve impaction, 
by rupture of the fibrous ring and leakage of the fluid of the spinal canal is not solved.
And this again is not enough tissue nutrition and metabolic disorders. Carbon dioxide injections will not only quickly relieve pain and calm the inflamed nerves, but also stabilize the processes in the body, preventing further development of the disease and possible complications.
Because carbon dioxide participates in the natural metabolic processes of the human body, it can not harm it.
The procedure has almost no serious contraindications to the conduct. Caution should be shown in such cases:
- pregnancy - the influx of blood can provoke premature contractions;
- acute stage of any disease, especially the cardiovascular system.
The rest of the procedure is completely harmless and painless.
How gas injections are made
First, a patient is examined - only the doctor can determine which points to enter carbon dioxide.
Then:
- the patient changes into a hospital tunic and sits down or falls on the couch;
- the doctor disinfects the skin areas in which the injections will be made;
- the necessary amount of substance is introduced into the gun reservoir, a sterile needle with a very small diameter is put on;
- produced micro-balls - quickly and painlessly.
Small wounds with sensitive skin and closely spaced capillaries may bleed slightly - then glue them with patch pieces.
If you lightly press on the skin at the injection site, you can hear a slight click - it dissipates the gas.
There are no indispositions and side effects, as a rule, do not arise.
It is easier for the patient to become after the first session, the full course of treatment lasts an average of 3 to 10 procedures, depending on the severity of the disease, the age and overall well-being of the patient. One course of treatment is enough for six months.
If necessary, you can conduct preventive sessions once a month.
Carboxytherapy for osteochondrosis:
Practical experience with
Patients who used gas injections for the treatment of joint and spine diseases.
My friend did the procedure on her face when she was in the Czech Republic at the resort - there it was included in the cost of the voucher. The result was really excellent, I do not know what influenced it - it was gas injections, or rest in the complex.
I decided to try to heal the joints, I have a strong arthritis on my hands. Now I pass the course every six months. Changes for the better are noticeable, night pains and cramps have gone, I can clench my fist and not drop plates and forks when my dishes. I recommend to everyone.

I fell in winter in ice, my back hurt for a long time, sometimes I could not get out of bed in the morning. And then I started to pull my leg. The doctor diagnosed an intervertebral hernia.
Also has advised a new technique - karboksiterapiju. In the direction it turned out not very expensive, and I agreed. If on the first procedure the shoe was taken off by the nurse, I could not bend down or sit down, then after the third I bent down and laced them myself. True, small bilious on the back remained in the place of injections. But what is this in comparison with the return of freedom of movement!

Where to make and how much is the procedure
In Russia, so far, not every clinic can afford to hold pneumopuncture. 
Gas injections in Russia are carried out only in large cities, in multi-disciplinary clinics with modern equipment.
The cost of introducing carbon dioxide into one zone( back, elbow or knee joint, thigh, etc.) starts from 900 rubles for the average course, which includes 5-7 procedures of .
Osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia, sciatica and lumbago - this is serious, but this is not a verdict. You can be healthy and fully participate in active life on an equal basis with the rest, using carboxytherapy in the complex treatment of the disease.
