REHABILITATION OF MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME (PAIN IN THE NECK, BETWEEN THE SHOULDER BLADES)

A multidisciplinary program that combines physical and rehabilitation medicine doctors, functional specialists, state-of-the-art robotic and physical medicine technologies to provide rehabilitation for patients with myofascial pain syndrome (pain in the neck, between the shoulder blades).

Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by pain caused by myofascial tissue dysfunction.

During rehabilitation, the following measures are being taken: assessment and documentation of the patient’s clinical condition and functional disorders, complication prevention, individual rehabilitation plan development, pain relief, improvement of motor functions, reduction of muscle imbalance, soft tissue development, education of the patient and his/her relatives, providing recommendations and inclusion in the dynamic monitoring register.

Target group:

Patients with functional disorders at the age of 18 and over who are medically stable and for whom the potential and motivation for medical rehabilitation are assessed as sufficient.

The rehabilitation program objectives:

According to an individually developed medical rehabilitation plan.

ROBOTIC TRAINERS USED DURING THERAPY:

Professional cold / heat therapy with compression. An advanced, multifunctional regeneration system Med4Elite, which combines cold / heat therapy as well as rapid contrast and compression therapy. It is a multifunctional and clinically proven rehabilitation device for various injuries, postoperative recovery, and it can be used in various stages of rehabilitation.

DiaCaRe 7000 works in a capacitive and resistive mode for the treatment of pain as well as chronic and acute disorders of the osteoarticular and muscular systems. Also recommended for the treatment of the acute phase of oedema and haematomas. It is based on endogenous heat generated by high-frequency currents that heal the patient’s body through the patient’s internal energy and the natural self-regeneration mechanisms of tissues and muscles.
