Physical therapy

Physical therapy is used for therapeutic and preventive reasons.

At our physical therapy room, we use electrotherapy, light therapy, heat therapy, ultrasound and massage methods to treat:

back pain, joint pain, bone and muscle pain;
complications and consequences of bone fractures, dislocations, ligament strains, bruises and other types of trauma;
consequences of neurological diseases, for instance, stroke, etc.;
cardiovascular diseases;
cicatrices and scar tissue;
lung diseases (bronchitis, bronchial asthma, lung inflammation);
chronic diseases of gastrointestinal tract, ulcers;
diseases of leg blood vessels (dilated veins, vein inflammation);
lymphostasis;
diseases of ears, nose and throat;
urinary incontinence;
etc.

As a result of physical therapy procedures:

pain is reduced;
oedema is reduced;
inflammationis reduced;
absorption processes in the tissue are stimulated;
metabolism is stimulated;
movements are restored after trauma;
immunity of the body is increased.

Contraindications of physical therapy (when it must not be used):

psychiatric diseases
pulmonary tuberculosis in acute phase
arterial hypertension of II-III grade
severe atherosclerosis
acute phase of an infection (including sexually transmitted infections)
chronic heart failure of III-IV class
oncology
benign tumours (uterine myoma, mastopathy, thyroid nodules)
febrile temperature
bleeding of various aetiology
metal bodies within the area affected by physical therapy, cardiac pacemakers
cachexia
pregnancy

Extended description of equipment in physical therapy:

Amplipulse (MSMS) analgesic, neurostimulating, spasmolythic effect: myalgia, radiculopathy and pain of other origin, hypotonic muscles, diseases of internal organs (gastric atony, biliary dyskinesia, atonic and spasmolythic constipation), urinary incontinence of a neurogenic nature.

Darsonvalization circulation improving effect, improves tissue metabolism, trophic: skin diseases, loss of hair, sensory disorders (hypo-, hyper- esthesia), mild analgesia, increases muscle tone (uterine prolapse of I degree, urinary incontinence caused by sphincter weakness), Raynauld’s disease of 1st and 2nd stage, venous insufficiency, varicose veins, haemorrhoids.

Ultra high frequency (UHF) treats inflammation, oedema: acute otitis, maxillary sinusitis, pyoderma, boils, hidradenitis, trophic ulcers, post-injection and post-surgical infiltrates, encephalitis, inflammatory and traumatic neuritis, causalgia, neuralgia, cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis, myositis, epicondilitis, tendovaginitis, arthritis, bone fractures, polyarthritis. Long-term therapy is prohibited, because it stimulates proliferation (adhesions).

Magnetic therapy anti-oedematous, hypotensive effect - used in cases of chronic processes: thrombophlebitis, venous insufficiency, post-traumatic oedemas, bruises, neuritis, plexititis, radiculopathies, degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

UVA locally: rhinitis, stomatitis, otitides, boils, achalasias. General: psoriasis, pyoderma.

Ultrasound increases metabolism, enzyme secretion: in cases of chronic diseases (degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system, torpid bronchitis, neuralgias, osteophytes).

Galvanisation (medicinal electrophoresis) has the effect of injected medicinal products.
