Therapy and Treatment
Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or body contouring, is a plastic surgical procedure in which subcutaneous fat tissue is removed from certain areas of the body—such as the abdomen, hips, thighs or arms. As a result, the shape and contour of these areas improve. What should you know about adipose tissue? An average adult has about 30 billion fat cells. Fat tissue is made up of these fat cells and is [...]
Regular participation in screening examinations could prevent a large proportion of breast cancer, which is a leading cancer among women aged 45 to 65. In addition, 'self-examination' can also play an important role in reducing the number of women who die from breast cancer. Imaging tests, such as breast ultrasound and mammography, can help early [...]
Magnetotherapy is a widely used physiotherapy method in Western Europe. However, in our country it is used far less than it deserves. The electromagnetic energy is produced by a current flowing through a coil. Magnetotherapy accelerates microcirculation and tissue regeneration processes. In this article you can read which conditions magnetotherapy is suitable for. Here I write about how to apply magnetotherapy to achieve the best possible results.
I present a new treatment option in this article, non-invasive vagus stimulation (abbreviated tVNS). This is a neuromodulation method. Vagus stimulation itself is not new; it has been used clinically for several years. Devices that can deliver safe and effective transcutaneous treatment, however, have only become available recently. This article is about that development.
Bone fracture is a common problem. Usually a bone breaks as a result of an accident, a fall, or physical impact. Your body has a wonderful self-repairing system that can restore this major damage and “weld” the bones together. If your body is in good condition and can concentrate only on healing the fracture, it still takes 2–3 months to recover. If […]
The steroid injection is a popular therapeutic method that can quickly help relieve pain and inflammation in a specific area of the body. It is most often given as an initial treatment for joint or periarticular complaints (for example ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine or wrist — and larger tendons).
“Meditation means more than sitting under a tree and daydreaming. Meditation is the highest form of awareness. Meditation means noticing what kinds of thoughts, feelings, concepts, and beliefs touch us, and recognizing that there is a ‘pause,’ a choice, and that we do not have to respond to everything automatically.” Kurt Tepperwein Meditation is a mental state in which [...]
For foot-related complaints it's worth consulting a professional. Few people probably know exactly how a pedicurist, podiatrist or special foot care professional can help. These occupations are related. To help clarify, I asked Anna Németh, master special foot care practitioner, lecturer and instructor, for her input. Dr. Zsolt Zátrok (ZZs): What are the roles of the pedicurist, the podiatrist and the special foot care professional? Anna Németh (AN): All three professions deal with foot problems, but their training and competencies differ.
Acetic acid iontophoresis is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure in which acetic acid (usually a 5% solution) is delivered into tissues using a low-voltage electric current. Negatively charged acetate ions are driven through the skin by the current, targeted to the area of calcification. The theoretical basis is that acetate ions react with otherwise insoluble calcium deposits (for example calcium carbonate), forming calcium acetate — a more soluble compound that can be carried away by the bloodstream…
The stability of the knee joint is provided by the leg muscles surrounding the joint, namely the thigh extensor muscles (front) and the hamstrings (back), as well as the calf muscles. If these muscles are strong, they hold the joint stably. This reduces the load on the bones forming the joint and lowers pain. There are other reasons to re-strengthen the muscles as well. Thus it is important after an injury and even before and after joint replacement surgery.
In this article I demonstrate how to regain the strength of the muscles around the knee joint.
Medical fitness is a healthcare service aimed at achieving improvements for patients through exercise. Within this framework, physicians, physiotherapists and medical fitness trainers work together to create an individualized training plan for the patient that takes into account the patient's specific health condition and goals. Medical fitness programs generally target conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, joint pain, overweight and stress.
Primarily important for movement and lymph therapists, as well as neurorehabilitation specialists, are the 3S sequential stimulation programs offered by Globus electrotherapy devices. This article covers these programs, their significance, and how to use them. About muscle stimulators in general: Muscle stimulators provide treatment for muscles. Devices intended for home use typically operate on 2 or 4 channels. Their characteristic is that they deliver the pulse on all channels at the same time and therefore the muscle contractions occur simultaneously [...].
