Device and Equipment
The treatment of hard-to-heal wounds on the foot or lower leg, also known as leg ulcers, can gain new momentum. According to studies conducted with softlaser devices, softlaser treatments for leg ulcers resulted in effective wound healing. This is good news for those suffering from ulcers, as these wounds often show no signs of healing for months or even years. Shockwave therapy can also be an effective method for treating leg ulcers, as it promotes healing and improves blood circulation.
Perhaps the greatest change in healthcare over the past decades was not the appearance of a new drug or a surgical technique. The paradigm shift is much deeper: medical science has recognized that in the treatment of chronic diseases the patient must be an active participant in the healing process, not a passive sufferer. This insight gave rise to the concept of home medical technology — a therapeutic modality that fundamentally changes the doctor–patient relationship and the options for treating chronic conditions.
Home halotherapy is a natural and clinically supported complement to medical treatment for respiratory allergies and many other lung conditions. Now I introduce a device that, in my opinion, provides the most effective home halotherapy: the SaltDome halotherapy device.
Pressure therapy devices provide treatment for people with lymphatic and circulatory disorders, effectively reducing swelling and the tight, painful sensation.
If you read my previous article on home medical technology, you’ve probably wondered: if these devices are really this effective, if this new therapeutic option really exists, why haven’t you heard about it? Why didn’t your GP, your rheumatologist, or your physiotherapist recommend it? Why do you have to learn about it from an online article?
That’s a fair and important question. The answer is complex — and it’s not about doctors being malicious or deliberately withholding information. The reality is much more complicated, and if you understand the background, you’ll not only view your doctor differently but also be able to cooperate with them more effectively.
Arthritis, that is joint inflammation, is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases. The term “arthritis” is a “collective category” that includes more than 100 different conditions. The best known are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but it also includes gouty and psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and even fibromyalgia. Nowadays soft laser represents one of the most effective physiotherapy methods to alleviate symptoms.
A common cause of heel pain is inflammation that develops where the heel bone meets the plantar fascia or the Achilles tendon. It can torment a person for months, sometimes years, and is difficult to get rid of. Every step is very painful, as if you were stepping on a pin cushion. The first step is especially unpleasant; later it “warms up” a bit and the pain eases. For home treatment, the more anti-inflammatory methods you use, the greater the chance of success. Cold–heat, therapeutic ultrasound, microcurrent, magnet therapy and soft laser all help, but in different ways. They therefore reinforce each other's effects. Here I will describe only the soft laser, specifically the home use of the B-Cure device.
If you see a doctor or go to emergency care for chest pain, trauma or shortness of breath, a chest X‑ray is usually taken (often along with other tests such as an ECG). X‑ray is an imaging method that is typically one of the first diagnostic tests used to clarify diseases affecting the chest. I wrote about why it is done and what can be seen on it.
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?
Implantation techniques are widely used in orthopedics and dentistry. To achieve better outcomes, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is increasingly being applied in many places; it accelerates bone healing and promotes the integration of implants into the surrounding bone tissue. PEMF therapy shows promise in both orthopedic and dental restorations as a way to improve the healing process and shorten regeneration time.
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.
Nail fungus is one of the most common nail disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide. This stubborn infection is not only an aesthetic problem but can significantly impair quality of life. Traditional treatments, such as topical or oral antifungal agents, often have limited effectiveness and can cause side effects. In recent years, however, a promising new technology has emerged: softlaser therapy, represented by innovative devices like the Nailit device.
