Nowadays you increasingly hear about one of the newest electrotherapy treatments, neuromodulation, and within that, vagus stimulation. Neuromodulation achieves effects by stimulating the function of certain brain areas or nerves. One type is vagus stimulation, which increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system. Some experts believe the method could bring radical change in the treatment of today's most common diseases (diabetes, atherosclerosis, autoimmune diseases, inflammations, depression, stress, sleep disorders and many others).
A nerve is a “communication cable” in your body. It brings information to and from the brain — that is, from the body to the brain and back from the brain to the body. Nerves transmit both sensory and motor impulses. Touch, pressure, temperature and body-position sensory impulses move toward the brain, while motor signals go toward the muscles. The consequence of nerve damage can therefore be a disturbance, reduction or even complete loss of sensation and motor function.
The surgery was successful, the doctor is satisfied – but the story doesn’t end here. Rehabilitation is the process by which you relearn to walk, grasp, work, and live. And here’s the problem: Hungary’s rehabilitation system has limited capacity, long waiting lists, and by the time you get a slot the “golden window” for the greatest gains has often passed. In this article I’ll show why timing in rehabilitation is critical and how you can supplement specialist care with home-based treatment. This article is a practical guide to understanding the steps needed for successful recovery.
The autonomic or vegetative nervous system is the part of the nervous system responsible for regulating bodily functions that are independent of our will (not consciously controllable). It controls basic life processes such as heart rate, breathing and digestion. Its main components are the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
Magnet therapy — technically known as PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy — is a physiotherapy method that uses electromagnetic energy to support tissue regeneration. It is primarily applied for bone fractures, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, joint inflammations and other musculoskeletal complaints. In this comprehensive guide you can learn about the mechanism of action, contraindications and the practical details of home use.
Chronic inflammation is one of the most common conditions of our time. Its causes are diverse but are largely found in lifestyle. Let's look at the most important things to know.
Decline in muscle strength can result from many factors, and fortunately there are ways to restore it. In this blog post I examine the most common causes of muscle strength loss and the options for regaining strength, with particular attention to EMS (electrical muscle stimulation).
Regular physical activity is an indispensable part of a healthy lifestyle. It not only helps shape your body but also offers numerous health benefits that contribute to a longer, disease-free life.
A leg ulcer is a wound on your lower leg that does not heal or heals only very slowly. In 80–90% of cases it appears as a consequence of varicose vein disease and/or diabetes, and less commonly it has an arterial origin. The skin thins and a shallow “pit” forms. Healing is extremely slow, and if it does heal, it tends to recur. You can read countless articles about this, but they rarely mention what you can do yourself to improve recovery at home.
“I was admitted to hospital in a serious condition. Over a few days things improved a lot, but I am far from how I was before. Yet they discharged me today, which I don’t understand. What can I do to get back to my previous health?” – Many people ask roughly the same question. I will explain why this happens.
Neuromodulation refers to modifying or regulating nervous system activity using various techniques, often employing electrical or chemical stimulation. Its main goal is to alter the functioning of neural networks to achieve a therapeutic effect in the treatment of neurological or psychiatric conditions. Types of neuromodulation Electrical neuromodulation Electrical neuromodulation modifies the activity of neural pathways using electrical impulses. It is divided into invasive and non-invasive methods. Invasive electrical neuromodulation […]
