Uses of null-gravity (also called "zero-G") therapy include, but are not limited to:

  • Allow easier movements by individuals suffering from skeleto-muscular diseases or injuries
  • Aleviation of pain from certain types of radiation exposure
  • Slow certain aspects of the cardiovascular system for treatment, such as tachycardia
  • Helps species with copper-based blood produce more green blood cells
  • Correct some balance disorders
  • Assists in the treatment of auto-immune diseases in many humaniods

The medical benefits of null-gravity therapy has been known for centuries throughout the galaxy, and Starfleet has long included facilities in their larger ships and stations to provide those benefits. Even smaller vessels typically have one or two rooms that can be readily converted to null-gravity treatments.
