Medical rehabilitation embodies a multifaceted blend of approaches, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, the provision of orthopedic and technical supports, alongside psychological and social assistance, therapeutic massage, and physiotherapy. It encompasses various therapeutic interventions, such as medication, dietary management, and the education of patients and their families. The primary goal is to recover or improve the patient's compromised biopsychosocial functions. In cases where bodily changes are irreversible, the objective shifts to compensating for these limitations or preserving the patient's current level of biopsychosocial functionality.

Measures used for rehabilitation

Electrotherapy with Neurotrac and Compex devices

Electrotherapy is used for acute and chronic pain relief (TENS) as well as functional neuromuscular stimulation (FES).

Indications:

  • Muscle tension
  • Arthritis
  • Neck, chest and lower back pain
  • Shoulder muscle pain
  • Neuralgia
  • Traumatic, post-operative pain

Ultrasound therapy with the JUS-2 device

The therapeutic effects of ultrasound are anti-inflammatory, analgesic and joint mobility enhancing. The generation of ultrasound, and in particular the thermal effects on tissues, causes very complex physical and chemical processes in tissues. They improve blood perfusion, produce analgesic effects, muscle relaxation and promote regeneration.

Indications:

  • Acute and sub-acute trauma and inflammation
  • Arthritis
  • Scar and fibrotic tissue exudation
  • Gynaecological, orthopaedic and other operations
  • Inflammations of the respiratory tract
  • Fractured bone consolidation after a fracture
  • Interconnected processes

Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive physical therapy, especially for treating bone, joint and tendon problems. It is effective for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

Indications:

  • Plantar facscitas
  • Tendon injuries
  • Epicondylitis
  • Chronic pains
  • Tendon ruptures, sprains
  • Bursitis
  • Periarthritis
  • Musculoskeletal disorders
  • Achilles tendinitis
  • Trigger points
  • Orthopaedic pathologies

Acupuncture, dry needle therapy

Acupuncture (Latin acus - needle + punctura - (puncture) - stimulation of points on the surface of the body with needles, dry needles.

Dry needling is a treatment to relieve pain. The needle is used to go deeper and reach areas that cannot be reached by hand. During a dry needling treatment, a disposable small needle is used to pierce a trigger point in the muscle. Several muscles can be pricked at the same time. During the prick, the muscle may twitch, which is called a local twitch response, and there may be some pain at the time, but dry needling is not painful.

Trigger points are thought to be caused by excessive acetylcholine release. Pain is caused by hypoxia and reduced blood circulation to the problem area, which may result in spreading or localised pain.

Indications:

  • Musculoskeletal pain, such as back, shoulder, neck, knee pain, muscle pain of uncertain origin.
  • Migraines and headaches
  • Bell's palsy
  • Trigeminal nerve inflammation
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Symptoms caused by menopause (hot flushes, etc.)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
