Nowadays, both public and private hospitals perform knee and hip replacement surgeries almost on an assembly line. Worn joints are replaced one after another. However, in a significant proportion of operations the expected level of improvement does not materialize. But why is that?
BEMER and magnetic field therapy (PEMF) are related but different. When the BEMER device is mentioned, you often hear that it uses "pulsed magnetic field therapy" – and that is essentially true. Still, anyone who digs a little deeper will quickly realise: BEMER is a specialized variant of the widely used pulsed magnetic field technology. Let’s see how they are similar and what makes BEMER different.
Until the beginning of the last century, the main obstacle to the development of surgery was the lack of a method that could provide pain relief and calm during longer operations. It is obviously impossible to perform precise surgery on a patient who is screaming in pain, convulsing and struggling. Modern anesthesiology — the science of anesthesia and sedation — provides all this. Anesthesia […]
The medical device manufacturer Globus offers a wide range of sports stimulators (not only) for athletes. The therapeutic quality of the devices is outstanding, and their program selection is so abundant that it can confuse not only those who are just getting to know stimulators but also regular users. I would like to help you navigate this with this article.
You may have encountered the condition known as a "crooked neck" among people you know. This is a (often painful) disorder in which the neck muscles on one side contract, causing the head to turn or tilt to the side. The loss of balance between the muscles on the two sides (cervical dystonia) results in the head uncontrollably bending to the side, forward, or backward. In medical terminology this condition is called torticollis.
I often receive desperate pleas for help, typically from elderly people. They are invited to a free “health assessment.” After a few minutes of “testing,” they are told very alarming results that put them almost into shock. Taking advantage of this, they are then persuaded — at very high prices — to buy a “miracle device” that supposedly cures everything. In their panic they cannot evaluate the situation, but later at home — with a cooler head — they realize they’ve been defrauded of hundreds of thousands of forints. What can you do? My article is based on real events.
The various electrotherapy treatments are very effective for many problems. They are excellent for pain relief (TENS, MENS), reducing inflammation (MCR), muscle treatment (EMS), abnormal sweating (iontophoresis), etc. The effectiveness of these treatments is influenced by one very simple factor: your body's water content. Let's see why hydration is important! A simple example of the role of water. You have probably had a houseplant at home. If you forgot to water it, it would first wilt and then die without water. However, if you water it from time to time, its stems and leaves remain supple and it will bloom or bear fruit. Water is just as important for your body, because
One of the most feared complications of diabetes mellitus is the diabetic foot (also called the diabetes-related foot), which at first appears as pain and sensory disturbances but can lead to much more serious consequences over time. Due to worsening circulation, tissues can die in small areas and a skin wound (ulcer) can form. If the process progresses, tissue death may extend to the toes and even the foot. Treating the diabetic foot and avoiding serious outcomes largely depends on you — on what and how much you eat, how much you exercise, and whether you follow medical instructions.
If you live with osteoporosis, or have just received the diagnosis, you know how frightening it can be to face that your bones are not as strong as they used to be. The risk of fractures, changes in posture, chronic pain – all of these can fundamentally change your daily life. But there is good news: alongside the right lifestyle and medication, there are complementary methods that can help support your bone health. One of these is magnetic therapy – or, as it is called in the scientific literature, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy. In this guide you will learn everything about osteoporosis and how magnetic therapy can help support your bones.
Neck pain troubles many people day after day. There is a very simple method to treat neck pain at home: muscle stimulation. Simple and effective! In this article you can learn about treatment with a muscle stimulator. What causes neck pain? Nowadays neck pain is most often a "civilization ailment." "I slept awkwardly on my neck."

FoamRoller = foam roller. This is a simple and very useful muscle-treatment tool for patients and athletes. It is excellent for relieving muscle pain and for releasing and loosening stiff, adhered muscles. You can also use it for stretching, warming up, and improving muscle recovery. The biggest advantage of the foam roller is that it provides many of the benefits of physiotherapy and massage at the same time. At the same time, a foam roller is cheaper than a single physiotherapy session or massage and […]
