Physical therapy
About therapy
Physical therapy is the practical application of physical treatment procedures and methods to the human body.
Magnetotherapy
Magnetotherapy is a gentle method of physical therapy, where through the action of a pulsed magnetic field, the tissues of the human body are affected at the cellular level, which leads to the alleviation of some health problems and supports self-healing processes in the human body.
- Pain relief
- Acceleration of healing of fractures and post-operative conditions
- Accelerating the healing of soft tissue inflammation
- Support for regeneration, immunity and vitality
Electrotherapy
Contact electrotherapy uses various forms of electric current that is fed into the body through the skin. It works on the principle of stimulating the affected nerves and muscles with an alternating electric current of different frequency and course. Its application is not painful, but depending on the type and intensity of the selected current, you may feel tingling, pulsation or tingling of varying intensity.
- Alleviation of back, joint and muscle pain,
- Improvement of tissue blood supply, dilation of blood vessels and reduction of swelling,
- Suppression of inflammation
Therapeutic ultrasound
Ultrasound is a mechanical wave where the crystal vibrates in the ultrasound applicator. These vibrations are transmitted to the surface of the body and deeper into the tissue using the gel. Under the influence of ultrasound, there is a micromassage and a local increase in tissue temperature.
- Reducing inflammation and alleviating pain
- Relaxation of overworked muscles
- Speeding up healing after an injury
Combined therapy
It is a combination of electrotherapy and therapeutic ultrasound, where the ultrasound head replaces one electrode. Combined therapy is one of the most effective methods for finding and eliminating reflex changes in muscles within physical therapy. It is used to alleviate or remove surface or deep-seated trigger points, so-called trigger points. Trigger points are painful places in the muscles that are caused by increased tension in the muscle fibers, and they cause pain not only in the corresponding area, but also so-called transferred pain. Other effects of this therapy include reducing muscle tension and alleviating pain, which in practice is most often used in the area of the trapezius muscle and the upper fixators of the shoulder blades.
- Mitigating or removing trigger points
- Reduction of muscle tension
- Pain relief
Laser
High power laser is a method of physical therapy used to treat painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system. The damaged tissue is treated using specially targeted light (photons). Photons penetrate deep and are absorbed by cellular structures. The passage of the beam into the tissue significantly increases the production of cellular energy, subsequently increases the production of enzymes, stimulates collagen, supports the vascularization of tissues, and improves the use of oxygen and glucose. The result is faster healing, increased tissue metabolism, reduction of inflammatory processes, reduction of pain and muscle relaxation.
Effects:
- Analgesic – suppressing pain
- Antiphlogistic – suppresses inflammation
- Biostimulatory – promotes healing and immune response
- Thermal – deep heating of the tissue
Use:
- Musculoskeletal pain (muscle, tendon and joint pain)
- Functional disorders of the spine
- Arthritis, arthrosis and rheumatism
- Influencing trigger points
- Heel spurs
- Tennis elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (and other carpal tunnel syndromes)
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Post-traumatic states
- Leg ulcers and other skin defects
- Post-burn conditions
- Treatment of scars
