Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a method of treating various illnesses using physical factors such as heat, cold, and electric current.

Physiotherapy procedures are prescribed to speed up recovery, support rehabilitation after prolonged illness, restore normal bodily functions, heal injuries, and help the body regain its tone.

Physiotherapy Treatment Procedures (PTP):

The modern equipment at the rehabilitation department of the Arzni Sanatorium enables the use of various types of device-based physiotherapy, including:

• Electrophoresis: This procedure is based on a low-frequency direct galvanic current. Using two electrodes, the device creates an electric field that interacts with the body’s cells. As a result, a difference in bio-potentials is generated, essentially a physic-chemical shift which positively affects lymphatic and blood circulation as well as secretory functions. Blood vessels, both deep and skin, expand.
• Ultrasound Therapy : Treatment is carried out using high-frequency sound vibrations. As a wave, the sound penetrates 4-5 cm deep into the tissues. Ultrasound exerts mechanical, physic-chemical, and thermal effects, which stimulate tissue metabolism in the body. The procedure is often performed using various anti-inflammatory ointments such as indomethacin, hydrocortisone, laticort, corton, diclofenac, karipain, etc. This dual action of both the medicinal ointments and the sound waves helps relieve pain, reduce swelling, improve blood circulation, and provide anti-inflammatory effects. When ultrasound is combined with medications, the procedure is known as phonophoresis.
• Magnetotherapy (MT): Magnetic fields influence the nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine systems, and the musculoskeletal system. The magnetic field may be constant, pulsed, high-frequency, or low-frequency. The physical basis of magnetic field therapy lies in the fact that the human body, acting as a conductor of electricity, is exposed in such a way that tissues receive a specific amount of charged particles. As a result, tissue nutrition, blood circulation, and metabolic processes are improved.
• Polimag-02: A magnetotherapy device designed for patients with chronic diseases of the cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems, as well as disorders of the eyes and ears.
• UHF and SHF Therapy: a treatment method that involves the application of an ultra-high frequency electric field to the body(UHF). Even exposure to the lowest UHF frequencies promotes vasodilation, increases blood circulation, and provides a pain-relieving effect. UHF therapy accelerates the regeneration of peripheral nerves, enhances the absorption of inflammatory infiltrates, and reduces swelling.
• Quartz Tube (UVR) - Ultraviolet Radiation. This method has antiviral and bactericidal effects when applied to the nasal cavity and inflamed throat mucosa. It is also used in indoor spaces for air disinfection.
• Darsonvalization - a physiotherapy method based on the use of high-frequency (110–400 kHz), high-voltage (tens of thousands of volts), and low-intensity (up to a few milliamperes) pulsed currents. The procedure is performed using glass electrodes filled with rarefied air. An electrical discharge occurs between the patient’s skin and the vacuum electrode, leading to electronic and ionic polarization of cell potentials and chemical changes in tissues. Local darsonvalization improves blood circulation and tissue trophism, normalizes the tone of tissues, blood vessels, and skin, and helps reduce headaches and dizziness.
• Amplipulse (SMT) - Amplipulse therapy is a type of electrotherapy that uses sinusoidal modulated currents (SMT) for therapeutic, preventive, and rehabilitative purposes. SMT provides several medically beneficial effects, including neurostimulation, analgesic, vasodilatory, and trophic effects. The procedure is performed using five different modes: For pain relief, modes 3 and 4 are applied and for nerve stimulation, modes 1, 2, and 5 are used.
• Electrosleep Therapy - Low-frequency electrical current (around 15 V) is applied to the central nervous system, which lowers the pain threshold and provides pain-relieving effects. By stimulating the sleep centers, respiratory system, and autonomic nervous system in the cerebral cortex, this therapy also enhances cerebral vascular tone, increases blood oxygen saturation, and stimulates blood cell formation.
