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 […]

Among musculoskeletal disorders, hip conditions are not confined to old age. Hip pain is a common complaint that can be caused by many different problems. Precisely locating the hip pain can provide valuable clues to the underlying cause. Problems arising within the hip joint itself typically cause pain deep in the hip or in the groin. Sharp pain on the outside of the hip, the upper thigh, or the outer buttock usually suggests problems with the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues surrounding the hip joint […]

Burning foot syndrome typically causes symptoms that worsen at night. Affected people usually describe a burning, pins-and-needles type pain, most commonly located on the sole, around the ankle and sometimes on the lower leg. Although there may be no visible signs on the feet, the agonizing pain can make it impossible to sleep. Sleepless nights and days filled with suffering significantly reduce your quality of life. […]

Shoulder pain refers to sensitivity in and around the shoulder joint. The shoulder is not a single joint but a group of joints held and connected by tendons and muscles. This arrangement allows the arms a wide range of motion. While this mobility is an advantage, it also brings a vulnerability: because of its structure the shoulder can become unstable. In addition, painful conditions can develop due to impingement between soft tissues and bones […]

The foot is a complex structure of bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles, containing 26 bones and 33 joints. It is strong enough to bear the entire body's weight. Because of its complexity, however, it is prone to injuries and pain. This can be caused by a condition affecting the whole body or by a problem local to the foot. Any part of the foot can be affected, from the toes to the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel.

Electromyography (abbreviated EMG) is a diagnostic procedure for examining muscles and the nerves (motor neurons) that supply them. EMG results can reveal dysfunctions of nerves and muscles or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.

From time to time almost everyone reaches a point of exhaustion or burnout. These cases of temporary tiredness usually have an identifiable cause and an expected remedy. However, when the exhaustion is persistent, it lasts longer, is more profound and is not relieved by rest. It becomes an almost constant state of fatigue which, once established and become a constant companion, reduces energy, motivation and concentration. Such a level of fatigue affects emotional and psychological well-being and therefore is a clear source of danger. Medically, the concept of fatigue is hard to define because the sensation itself is subjective and everyone experiences it differently. In general, the most common cause is lack of sleep. If fatigue becomes persistent and you feel you never really get rested, see a doctor as soon as possible!

Ultrasond treatment is one of the first-choice treatment methods for musculoskeletal disorders, pains and inflammations. Therapeutic ultrasond is a fundamentally important tool in the toolkit of medical physiotherapy.
Technological advances now make it possible that you don't have to travel to a clinic or hospital every few days for a ten-minute treatment. With proper information and some basic knowledge, most ultrasond treatments can be performed at home using an ultrasond device designed for home use.

I have already written many articles about the excellent effects of electrotherapy. But it matters what, for what and when you apply it. For example, I do not recommend using muscle stimulation (EMS) in the first days after an accident or surgery! Another electrotherapy treatment, microcurrent (MENS, MCR), however, can be started even on the day of surgery. How is that?
