MAGNETOTHERAPY: is the therapy that is performed by magnetic fields produced by electrical current, unlike magnetic fields obtained using magnets (imanterapia). Effects on organs and systems:
Relieving muscle relaxation and vasodilation
Antispasmodic (increase the diameter of the arteries) , which leads to increased blood supply and oxygen to the tissues, waste disposal and anti-inflammatory effects.
stimulation of the body's defenses
Help fixation of calcium in bone and is important for accelerating bone regeneration times in fractures and osteoporosis.
help in the healing process by stimulating collagen production, for this reason also used in prevention of skin aging.
analgesic action.
release of endorphins, sedative and relaxing effect (widely used in stress, restlessness, insomnia, headache, tachycardia, emotional, etc.)..
LASERS: its initials stand for amplficación of light by stimulated emission of radiation, ie laser provides a light form. Its effects are
arteriolar and capillary vasodilatation, with consequent increase of blood and oxygen to the tissues, increase of defense items and elimination of toxins, including substances that produce pain (analgesic) and inflammatory mediators (anti-inflammatory). These effects also are achieved by stimulating the production of beta-endorphins, pain-relieving substances made in the body.
stimulates the production of fibroblasts, cells that in turn stimulate production of collagen, a protein important in the process of wound healing.
ULTRASOUND: are mechanical waves that the same type of sound but with frequencies above 16,000 hertz, making them inaudible to the human ear. Not through the air, they should apply a neutral gel or under water. Are used in two frequencies, 1 MHz, used primarily in orthopedic rehabilitation, rheumatology and sports, and 3 MHz, for beauty treatments such as cellulite, sagging, etc. Has the following effects: Vasodilation
, aumeto of blood and oxygen to the tissues, eleminación toxins.
Increased flexibility in collagen-rich tissues such as muscles and tendons, reducing these contractures and joint stiffness. Analgesic effect
stimulates cell functions and tissue regeneration by increasing local metabolism.
analgesic currents (TENS - transcutaneous electrical stimulation-): involves the application of electrodes on the skin in order to excite nerve fibers that in turn inhibit other nerve fibers are in charge of carrying nociceptive information (pain) to the brain and other universities, resulting in immediate pain relief. During its implementation is perceived a pleasant feeling of "lump" on the skin. INFRARED
: a form of heat transmitted without contact with the skin by means of a lamp, producing a dry heat and superficial. Effects:
Analgesic Anti-inflammatory medication and muscle relaxant
Decontracting
Important in preparing the muscles for exercise, stretching or massage
descontracturante ELECTRO MUSCULAR: electrical stimulation through muscle contractions are obtained different intensity and frequency as appropriate to address. It is also known to this agent as electrogimnasia or passive exercise, since the patient makes no effort, you are only placed electrodes on the skin. Used for:
healthy muscle hypertrophy or hypotrophy
disuse muscle atrophy (for example in patients who were immobilized with a long cast, resting, etc.).
muscle toning muscle relaxation
body contour modeling of
Training strength, power and muscular endurance
complement the work in the gym
improve circulatory function arterial, venous and lymphatic
Cryotherapy is the use of cold for therapeutic purposes. Effects: Decrease of the temperature are
metabolism and tissue blood flow decreased
Anti-inflammatory medication reduces muscle spasm
antiedematoso
Analgesic
For these purposes, it is very useful in acute trauma (recent), such as sprains, contusions, etc., can be used in various forms (ice packs, cold-packs, aerosol), in sport is used cryomassage, massage is performed on ice for analgesia during or after sporting activity.
CONTRAST BATHS: is a technique of hydrotherapy (water therapy) consisting of alternating cold water immersion hot and an area of \u200b\u200bthe body. Effects:
hyperemia, with greater flow of oxygen and blood to tissues
Analgesic - anti-inflammatory
Decreases joint stiffness DETECTOR POINT ACUPUNCTURE AND AURICULOTHERAPY: This device has the ability to detect changes in electrical resistance in the skin that placed on an acupuncture point or the ear. These resistance changes may indicate an energy blockage of the circulation in any area reflects the body. They do this by a light signal and / or sound. Is a useful tool provided it is accompanied by a thorough physical examination and a correct diagnosis.
NOTE: These techniques should be applied Getting Around perfectly indications, contraindications and precautions as well as proper dosing time, temperature, intensity, frequency, mode, distance of application, number of applications,.
