Results. All patients satisfied with treatment, significant pain re-duction, increase range of motion, rejection of the use of means of additional supports, as evidenced by the data evaluation scales. Indicators of blood gas composition, the data of pulse oximetry, capillaroscopy showing improvements in tissue circulation. Conclusions.
