Symptoms A–Z

Introduction Symptoms A–Z – find the right device for your complaint

Not everyone knows the exact name of their condition – but everyone feels their complaint and symptoms. That is why we have collected medical devices that can be used safely at home, without a doctor present, organised by symptom. Select the complaint that affects you – pain, swollen legs, joint complaints or sleep problems – and you will find the devices that can be used for that particular problem. This symptom guide complements our condition-based categories: if you know your diagnosis, start from the condition pages; if you are starting from your complaint, start here.

Key point Continuing treatment at home matters

Most conditions do not change in 1–2 days: recovery is often a process lasting several months. Being discharged from hospital does not mean that you are finished, but that you have got through the hardest part – the rest has to be completed at home. Physiotherapy and electrotherapy started in hospital must also be continued at home until recovery. Important: physiotherapy devices work in different ways – ultrasound is used for a different purpose than soft laser, just as cutlery is different (a spoon, knife and fork each have their own purpose). You can find out which one is right for you on the symptom page and together with your treating doctor.

Symptoms Select the symptom you want to treat

We have created a separate page for each of the complaints below, where you can find suitable devices for home use. Click the one that affects you.

  • Pain – whether it is joint, muscle, back or nerve pain, several drug-free methods (TENS, microcurrent, soft laser) may help relieve it.
  • Joint complaints – in cases of stiffness, swelling, degenerative or inflammatory joint pain, physiotherapy devices support the relief of symptoms and the strengthening of the muscles around the joint.
  • Swollen legs – swollen legs may be caused by varicose veins, lymphoedema, a condition after thrombosis or another cause; the right device depends on the cause, so examination is important.
  • Loss of muscle mass – after surgery, inactivity or illness, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) supports the preservation and rebuilding of muscle mass.
  • Sleep problems – devices and methods intended to ease difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.
  • Urinary leakage – for difficulties with bladder control, pelvic floor electrical stimulation may help by strengthening the sphincter muscles.
  • Vaginismus – devices that support muscle relaxation and gradual desensitisation when the pelvic floor muscles are painfully tense.

Info Are you searching by symptom or condition?

There are two ways to find your way around the shop. This page helps you start from a symptom: if you only know your complaint (my leg is swollen, my joint hurts), start here. If, however, you know your diagnosis (for example varicose veins, osteoarthritis or lymphoedema), it is worth starting from our condition-based categories (Condition treatment) – there you will find detailed device recommendations tailored to that condition. Both approaches lead to the same place: the device that is right for you. Important: a symptom may have several possible causes, so the exact diagnosis and treatment must always be determined by a doctor.

Warning Important information

Identifying the cause of symptoms and providing treatment is a medical task – the devices presented here complement treatment and do not replace a medical examination. The same symptom (for example swollen legs or pain) may result from several different conditions, and the right course of action depends on the cause; in some cases, a symptom may indicate a condition requiring urgent care. Therefore, do not start home treatment without knowing the exact cause – especially if the complaint has developed suddenly, is severe or occurs together with other symptoms. We describe the relevant devices and important warnings in detail on each symptom page. If you are unsure which device is right for you, ask your treating doctor or our expert for help.

FAQ Frequently asked questions

That is exactly why this page was created: you can start from your symptom or complaint here, rather than from a diagnosis. Select the option from the list that best matches your situation (pain, swollen legs, joint complaints, etc.), and you will find suitable devices on the symptom page. If your complaint is persistent or severe, be sure to see a doctor to clarify the exact cause – the symptom guide helps you find your way around, but does not replace a diagnosis.

Because physiotherapy devices work in different ways – ultrasound, soft laser, TENS and muscle stimulators each have different uses, just as cutlery does (a spoon, knife and fork each have their own purpose). Several methods may ease the same symptom, and the most suitable option depends on the cause and your individual situation. The symptom page explains the differences between the methods, while your treating doctor or our expert can help you make the final choice.

Because recovery from most conditions is a long process that may take several months and does not end when you are discharged from hospital. Being sent home means that you have got through the hardest part – but for recovery, the treatment started in hospital (physiotherapy and electrotherapy) must be continued at home. Devices that can be used safely at home make this possible: regular, persistent home treatment is key to recovery.

If the symptom has developed suddenly, is severe, is getting worse or is accompanied by other complaints (for example fever, severe pain or sudden swelling). The same symptom may be caused by something harmless or by a condition requiring urgent care, so the exact diagnosis must always be determined by a doctor. Home-use devices complement treatment of the identified cause – do not start treatment without knowing what is behind the symptom. Each symptom page explains in detail when urgent medical care is needed.
