Conducting amplipulse therapy
The procedure is absolutely simple, requiring minimal effort from the patient. The position of the body and posture are determined by the type of disease being treated. As a rule, amplipulse therapy is performed sitting or lying down (if the patient has urolithiasis, then standing).
First of all, the patient must take off his clothes to provide access to the affected part of the body. Then electrodes are applied and fixed to the surface of the skin, with the help of which the current will be applied. The device is turned on, adjusting and setting the minimum power. During the procedure, the intensity of the current is increased until the patient begins to feel a slight tingling in the affected area.
As a rule, the total duration of the session is about 20 minutes. The standard course is 10-15 procedures.
Amplipulse therapy does not require the patient to be hospitalized - preparation for the procedure can be done independently at home. There are a number of rules that are recommended to be followed before conducting SMT:
- A day before the session, it is better to stop taking all medications, except for those that are vital for the patient.
- During the treatment, it is necessary to limit foods that cause bloating (flatulence).
- A few hours before, you need to take a shower and eat a light meal.
Amplipulse therapy in physiotherapy
Even if your doctor prescribes this procedure as an addition to complex treatment, you should not neglect it under any circumstances. The greatest effect of SMT therapy is manifested when all the doctor's recommendations are followed. Regularity is the key to ensuring that you get the expected effect. Literally from the first session, many patients already feel significant relief: sharp pains go away, it becomes easier to move, freedom of movement is felt. Of course, this manipulation should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor or junior medical staff to eliminate the risk of incorrect connection of the device or failure in its operation during the session. Amplipulse therapy can be done in many clinics in St. Petersburg, having received a prescription from a therapist or traumatologist.
