Stores carry a huge variety of different blood pressure monitors, both upper-arm and wrist types. Wrist monitors are typically smaller and cheaper, which tempts you to buy them. Immediately the question arises: am I doing the right thing?

When we talk about pain, it's important to use the right words. In medical jargon you often see the term “chronic,” but that can be misleading. “Chronic” may imply that your pain will last forever, which usually isn't the case. Even healthcare professionals don't always agree on its precise meaning – is pain chronic after three months? Or does it require six months? For this reason it's better to use the terms “persistent” or “peristent” (persistent is preferable). These describe your situation more accurately: your pain has been present for a longer time, but that doesn't mean it must remain so forever.

If you have been diagnosed with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), you probably have many questions. In this article you will find almost all the important information about the disease, its symptoms and treatment options. What is FSHD muscular dystrophy? Facioscapulohumeral (FSHD) muscular dystrophy is an inherited muscle disease that primarily affects the muscles of your face, shoulder and upper arm. The disease […]

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has earned significant recognition as a valuable therapeutic approach in the rehabilitation of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by demyelination of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. This literature review provides a detailed examination of NMES, with particular attention to how it works, its physiological effects, its role in rehabilitation, and how it can improve the quality of life for those with MS.

Lipedema, also called fat edema, is a chronic, progressive condition that primarily affects women. It is a disorder in which fat tissue accumulates abnormally on the limbs, especially the legs, hips and sometimes the arms. It is important to know that this is not simple obesity — lipedema is a real disease that can significantly affect your quality of life.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) uses electrical impulses to elicit muscle contractions and is primarily applied in rehabilitation settings to improve motor function, prevent muscle atrophy, and enhance overall physical performance. NMES activates muscles either directly at motor neurons or indirectly via the nerves supplying the muscle groups. This technique has gained ground in many clinical applications, especially in the rehabilitation of patients recovering from stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other neuromuscular disorders.

Halotherapy, better known as salt therapy, is gaining increasing attention as a potential adjunctive treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This therapy involves the inhalation of micronized salt particles, which have beneficial effects on respiratory health. The long-term effectiveness of halotherapy in patients with COPD is an area of growing interest; several studies indicate symptomatic relief and an overall improvement in quality of life.

If you've undergone an orthopedic operation (hip or knee prosthesis, screws, plates) or a dental implant, you know how important proper healing is. The success of an implant depends on how well your body can “accept” the foreign object — this process is called osseointegration, i.e. incorporation into the bone.
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is an adjunct method that can support this process. In this article you can learn about the scientific background of bone healing, the challenges of implant integration, and how magnetic therapy can help support your recovery.

ALS (full name: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a slowly progressing disease caused by the gradual destruction of the nerve cells (motor nerves) that supply the voluntarily controlled muscles. The disease typically starts in the muscles of the limbs distant from the trunk and gradually spreads toward the center. Muscle strength decreases, muscles start to waste away (atrophy) and eventually paralysis develops. As a consequence, patients lose mobility as well as urinary and fecal continence, and they experience increasing muscle stiffness (spasticity), contractures (shortening of the tendons) and pain resulting from these problems. Progression of muscle weakness largely determines quality of life.

Nerve pain (medically called neuralgia) is an unpleasant condition that can significantly affect your daily life. You are not alone with this problem – a large portion of people will face some form of it during their lives. In this article you will find important information about nerve pain, its various forms of presentation, and most importantly: effective treatment options, with special attention to methods you can use at home.

Globus stimulators offer a versatile solution for you, whether your goal is improving athletic performance, rehabilitation, or beauty care. Each device is multifunctional and provides several forms of electrotherapy. Depending on the intended use, you can choose between TENS, EMS and NMES, FES, iontophoresis, Kotz and interference treatments.
