Uses electrical, mechanical, and light energy to treat musculoskeletal disorders. Physiotherapy procedures transmit energy to the human body through various physical factors: electric current, ultrasound, mechanical vibrations of different frequencies, variable electric field, laser, leading to increased metabolism and vascularization, and thus reducing inflammation and pain.
Procedures available at TOPMED Medical Center include: • Laser therapy • Electrotherapy • Hydrotherapy • Galvanic bath • Paraffin wraps • Massage • TECAR therapy • Shockwave • Kinesiotherapy • Ultrasound therapy • Diadynamic currents • Interferential currents • Faradic • Galvanization • Gymnastics • Ionization

TECAR THERAPY:
TECAR is a state-of-the-art treatment method with multiple therapeutic effects. It is a high-frequency current that penetrates deep into the tissue, transforms into heat, and induces a feeling of well-being.
Therapeutic effects:
1. instant relief of intense pain (analgesic effect)
2. muscle relaxation (myorelaxant effect)
3. reduction of edema (anti-inflammatory effect)
4. accelerates natural tissue regeneration
5. biostimulation
Indications:
- spinal pain
- muscle tears
- dislocations, sprains
- fractures
- arthrosis (gonarthrosis, coxarthrosis, shoulder arthrosis)
- postoperative states (meniscus tears, ligament ruptures)
- recovery after fractures
- extra-articular rheumatism (tendinitis, bursitis, tenosynovitis)
- plantar fasciitis
- post-traumatic edema drainage
Advantages:
- painless and non-invasive
- results appear from the first session
- treats both bone structure and surrounding tissues (ligaments, tendons), muscle tissue
SHOCKWAVE:
Shockwave is a modern physiotherapy technique that uses high-pressure energy generated in a very short time and is used to treat chronic pain. The shockwave creates increased pressure on affected tissues, increasing microcirculation and cellular metabolism by increasing local permeability. This stimulates and accelerates healing and dissolves calcium deposits.
Indications:
- heel spur
- shoulder pain (calcific tendinitis, painful shoulder, shoulder bursitis)
- plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinitis
- epicondylitis
- patellar tendinitis
Effects:
- reduces pain
- relaxes muscles
- promotes healing
- dissolves calcifications
- increases collagen production
Advantages:
- treats chronic pain
- increases mobility
- short application time (a few minutes)
