Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy or
physical instrumental therapy foresees the
use of electro medical instruments for
therapeutic goals, usually to integrate
re-habilitation techniques and
hydrokinesitherapy.
These are shortly the
instrumental therapies available in our
physiotherapy cabs:
Laser: it has an anti- inflammatory
effect;
ultrasounds: if used with a direct
emission they have an antioedema effect (post-traumas,
articular oedemas, haematomas), if rather
used with a pulsed emission they have a
painkiller effect;
antalgic electro therapy:
there are different types of current with
painkiller effect; these therapies are known
as Tens, Diadynamic and Interferential ones,
Ionophoresis. It is the doctor who
prescribes the most indicated therapy
according to the health problem;
electrotherapy muscle stimulations: they are
all currents that because of their
particular frequency of emission, produce a
muscular contraction.
