Modern physiotherapy has many diverse procedures in physiological and therapeutic effects, physical nature, and application methods. There is constant growth in their use, and it is hard to name a condition in which physiotherapy cannot be applied to benefit a patient.
You should look for the right expert for the best examination. During my first physio appointment, my physiotherapist did a full body assessment to check for areas of concern. Physiotherapy allows you to minimize possible side effects and unpleasant consequences of both the disease itself and its treatment, sometimes negatively affecting the body’s defense.
It also awakens
the body’s internal reserves, strengthens the immune system, and thereby shortens the treatment time, accelerates the healing of wounds and inflammations, activates the most important biochemical processes in the body, and adjusts the body’s natural forces for recovery. There are different types of physiotherapy procedures you should know. They include:
Electrotherapy
It is a physiotherapy method, which is based on the effect on the human body of an electric current in small doses, which improves metabolic processes in tissues, with an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. Electrotherapy includes galvanization, impulse currents, interference currents, CMT therapy, darsonvalization, etc.
Ultrasound Therapy
It is the application of ultrasonic vibrations for therapeutic purposes. For ultrasound therapy, ultrasonic vibrations are used with a frequency of 880 kHz, 2640 kHz, and in recent years also from 22 to 100 kHz. In living tissues, ultrasound has a mechanical, thermal, physicochemical effect (tissue and cell micromassage); at the same time, metabolic processes are activated, the body’s immune properties increase. Ultrasound has a pronounced antispasmodic, analgesic, general tonic, and anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates lymph and blood circulation, regenerative processes, and enhances tissue tropism.
Laser Therapy
It is a phototherapy
method based on low-energy light radiation (red and infrared) with particular physical characteristics: monochromaticity, coherence, polarization. Under the influence of laser therapy, capillaries expand, blood microcirculation and tissue nutrition are improved, and all this together leads to accelerated healing processes in the affected areas. Laser therapy has a beneficial effect on immunity, reduces blood viscosity, enhances lymph drainage, lowers cholesterol, relieves pain, has antimicrobial, antiviral, and antiallergenic effects.
Color Puncture
It is a method at the junction of phototherapy and reflexology, very physiological and natural for a person in view of the use of the usual colored light to influence biologically active points and areas of the body according to the principles of oriental medicine. At the same time, a person’s emotions and health are perceived as closely interrelated. This makes it possible to effectively restore both the emotional and physiological state of a person.…
If you have never read scientific articles about bats, the chances are that you get the image of the animal from pop-culture reference. Batman and Dracula are two famous figures that strongly associate with bats. Batman may give you the sense that living in a bat cave is okay for humans. Dracula represents bats as devil creatures preying on their victim’s blood.
The worst news about Histoplasmosis is that you do not have to live in a bat’s cave to catch the disease. In fact, house’s ceiling is the most favorite place for the bats. As long as there is a population of bats in a region, the houses nearby have the chances to have groups of bats nesting in there.
Histoplasmosis is a silent killer because the symptoms are not unique. They can resemble the ones of Tuberculosis, Acute Respiratory Infection, or allergic reactions. Consequently, the doctors often give incorrect prescriptions. Here is a list of those symptoms:
