General information

This method of treatment is used in almost all areas of medicine. It is especially relevant and effective in orthopedics and traumatology.

Its main advantages, in comparison with drug and surgical intervention, are safety, absence of pain and complications.

Physiotherapy is considered the main direction in post-traumatic rehabilitation. When choosing and prescribing a manipulation, the following factors are taken into account: stage and form of the underlying disease, concomitant pathologies, age, gender, anamnesis, mental health of the patient.

Procedure process

There are many types of physiotherapy that are selected individually.

1. Inductothermy is based on the effect of high frequencies of an alternating magnetic field on the diseased organ. Eddy currents, turning into heat, dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, help reduce blood pressure, relieve smooth muscle spasm. In addition, inductothermy has an analgesic, calming effect, helps to increase the concentration of calcium in tissues.
2. UHF therapy. Ultra-high-frequency waves generate thermal energy that normalizes lymphodynamics and blood circulation, healthy cell division, reduces swelling and inflammation, regenerates nervous and connective tissue, relieves pain, removes muscle spasms of internal organs.
3. Magnetotherapy is a modern method that uses low-frequency waves. The device has computer software that allows you to control the entire process and create a program for each client. With its help, they improve the functioning of the central nervous system, blood microcirculation, have an anti-edematous, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, regenerating, analgesic effect. This technique has a wide range of indications, so it is even used to prevent oncological, systemic and mental pathologies.
4. Ultrasound causes microvibration of the diseased area with acoustic pressure. As a result, oxidation and reduction processes are activated, the level of biologically active substances in the blood increases. Ultrasound therapy is especially effective for diseases of the upper respiratory tract and joints.
5. Phonophoresis is a combination of ultrasound with therapeutic external agents. It is used in orthopedics, traumatology, urology, gynecology.
6. The laser affects point zones, stimulating regeneration, metabolism, hematopoiesis, immunity.
7. Drug electrophoresis is a combined method of action of current and drugs. As a result, the effect of drugs increases, and negative consequences are reduced. The conductivity of nerve fibers increases, the state of the central nervous system improves.
8. Electrostimulation. Electrical impulses achieve changes in muscle and nerve functions, increased blood circulation and metabolism. The method has proven itself in neurology for nerve conduction disorders.
9. Sinusoidal modulated currents (SMC) affect nerves and muscles with low-frequency oscillations, eliminating functional disorders.
10. Shock wave therapy (SWT) affects tissues with sound waves, stimulating recovery and healing. The method is effective in eliminating adhesions, scars, wounds, excess deposits, inflammation, pain.

Indications

Indications for the appointment of physiotherapeutic manipulations are numerous:

• pain and swelling in pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, cerebral palsy;
• chronic inflammation in remission;
• smooth muscle spasms;
• respiratory tract infections;
• gynecological and urological problems;
• injuries to joints, ligaments and tendons;
• psychological disorders;
• paralysis and paresis.

Contraindications

Physiotherapy procedures are not used in the following conditions:

• pregnancy;
• hemophilia and hemorrhagic vasculitis;
• acute purulent infections;
• the presence of a pacemaker and other implants;
• diseases in the acute stage;
• fresh injuries and fractures;
• thrombosis.
