Physical therapy
Magnetotherapy
It is a non-invasive method, which consists in applying a permanent or alternating magnetic field to the human body. In medicine, low-frequency pulsed magnetic fields are mainly used. Magnetotherapy is helpful in the rehabilitation of all parts of the body. It helps to relieve pain, has an anti-inflammatory effect and accelerates healing. This method is non-invasive, so you can be clothed during the procedure. This is because there is no direct contact with the skin.
Benefits – relieves pain, has anti-inflammatory effects, relieves muscle tension, accelerates bone and tissue healing, helps in the treatment of osteoporosis or fractures
Indications – acute pain after injury, chronic back pain, arthrosis
Electrotherapy
It is one of the therapeutic methods of physiotherapy and rehabilitation uses the therapeutic effect of various forms of electrical energy to relieve pain, improve blood circulation and thus the entire tissue metabolism, thus accelerating the regeneration process of motor functions. The types of current used for therapeutic purposes have undergone rigorous testing which has confirmed their safety and efficacy, however side effects such as nausea, headaches or muscle aches may occur. Depending on the effect we need to achieve, we use either direct current or alternating current (low, medium or high frequency).
Benefits – relieving pain in the spine, upper and lower limbs, joints, relaxing or stimulating muscles, softening stiff tissues, improving blood circulation, reducing swelling and inflammation, boosting immunity
Indications – various types of musculoskeletal disorders, migraines, whistling in the ears
Interference currents
Interference currents are usually created using electrodes that are placed in a cross so that the current from one pair of electrodes travels deep into the tissue and there meets the current from the other pair of electrodes. At the point where the currents meet, there is interference and a new current is created which has healing effects. The healing potential can be further enhanced by the use of suction cups, which are also a means of micro-massaging the surface tissues.
Benefits – relieve pain, relax
Indications – musculoskeletal disorders, spinal and joint pain, muscle weakness, neuralgia, circulatory disorders, arthrosis, post-traumatic conditions
