Therapy and Treatment
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a therapy that influences muscle condition. It stimulates motor nerve endings by delivering a series of mild electrical impulses through the skin to the muscle, resulting in muscle contractions. The method is frequently used in neurorehabilitation to reduce spasticity — increased muscle tone and reflexes that often follow stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. Attention! NMES […]
Muscle stimulation is now widely known and used in medicine, rehabilitation and sport. By applying electrical impulses, muscles can be caused to contract, which improves tone, increases endurance, and aids recovery after injuries. Most people know EMS/NMES technology as muscle stimulation and it is the most widespread in everyday practice; however, there is an older form of muscle stimulation that has been shown to be more effective in developing muscle strength: Kotz stimulation, also known as Russian stimulation.
Interferential therapy is a physiotherapy procedure that can help treat a range of health problems. In this article you will learn in detail about how interferential therapy works, its applications and the expected effects of the treatment. Interferential therapy (IF therapy) is an electrotherapy method primarily used for pain relief, muscle rehabilitation and improving circulation. During the treatment two different medium-frequency currents are applied, which meet within your tissues […]
You may have already heard about electrostimulation as a training or rehabilitation method, but do you know the differences between whole-body electrostimulation (Whole Body – WB-EMS) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)? In this article I introduce the characteristics, applications and advantages of the two technologies so you can understand which method might be most suitable for you.
Prostate surgery is most commonly performed to treat prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The term prostatectomy refers to the complete surgical removal of the prostate. The procedure can be associated with various complications, which can be classified as acute (short-term) and long-term.
Microcurrent therapy (MCR) is an innovative electrotherapy method based on the application of very low-intensity electrical currents. This treatment is widely used for pain relief and for managing joint inflammations. The aim of microcurrent therapy is to reduce inflammatory processes, promote tissue regeneration, and alleviate pain. Mechanisms of action of microcurrent therapy include stimulation of cellular metabolism, which contributes to reduced inflammation and enhanced tissue repair.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Soft laser therapy has received increasing attention in medicine over recent decades. Although many remain skeptical about this treatment modality, numerous high-quality scientific studies demonstrate its efficacy in treating various diseases and symptoms.
