THE HISTORY OF TECAR THERAPY

Studies show that for over 100 years, therapeutic effects have enabled tissue reconstruction as well as pain reduction. The founder of this current is Jacques Arsène d’Arsonval, a famous doctor, but also a French physicist and inventor. In 1890, Arsonval discovered the benefits of the permeability of plasma membrane by increasing frequency to more than 100 KHz. In the 1920s, with other researchers and doctors, he developed the first capacitive and resistive electrodes. A work by William Beaumont in 1939 dealt extensively with these modes of applications CAPACITIVE (CET) and RESISTIVE (RET). Read full history

What is cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy or ice therapy is the application of cold to the body tissues after injury. This practice is as old as medicine itself. Nowadays, local cold application may be applied by the use of various forms of ice or frozen gel packs, or by evaporation of volatile fluids from the skin. Often skin temperature is reduced to 10 C°.  Read full answer

What is osteoarthritis?

It is well known that erosion during Osteoarthritis can’t be reversed easily and satisfactorily. Normally this situation is treated as incurable. Doctors, usually suggest to take measures to avoid further worsening of the condition and try to accept the situation. In case of unbearable pain, painkillers are the first advice to patients. These, painkillers or lotions need to be applied over and around the joints.

Introducing nature's Pain killer Carathron

Basically, Cararthron® is a herbal formulation which can help short to mid-term relief of pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis.

Each capsule contains a proprietary patented blend of
1. Scutellaria Baicalensis root extract equiv to dry root
2. Acacia Catechu herb extract dry concentrate equivalent to dry heartwood

Key benefits
1. The herbs in Cararthron® have both been used traditionally in oriental and ayurvedic medicine for their anti-inflammatory properties.
2. Cararthron® helps provide relief of pain and stiffness.
3. Cararthron® has been tested and regular intake over 4-12 weeks results in an improvement of mobility and reduction in stiffness.
4. Cararthron® is registered with the Australian TGA for both Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

If you are suffering from Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis and looking a right cure, you can get it here.

Shock wave therapy Treatment Possibilities and Opportunities

Shock wave Therapy is used to treat a growing number of tendon, joint and muscle conditions.
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

Basically doctor will locate the area of pain through palpation. This area will then be marked and some ultrasound gel applied. The shock wave impulses are delivered using a hand-piece. It takes about five minutes to deliver a single treatment. This is generally said to be uncomfortable (rather than painful) and is well tolerated by the vast majority of patients. This process is repeated a total of three times — with a week between treatments. Some patients note an immediate improvement in their pain, however the best results occur 12 weeks after the initial treatment.

Why Is It So Hard To Treat Neck, Back and Knee Pain?

Pain is a very common symptom when there is injury or disease in the body.
At some point in life, almost every person suffers from neck, back, knee or other joint pain.

While a majority of such problems disappear after a few days due to the human body's natural ability to heal itself, a small unfortunate group of patients do not get better.
They not only continue to feel pain, stiffness, and weakness, but often get worse with time, despite seeing different doctors, traditional physicians, and trying alternative treatments.

Using a thorough medical history and clinical examination, aided by selective X-rays, MRIs or blood investigations, we break down a patient's condition to a combination of root causes such as::

1. Focused Joint Injury
2. Persistent Inflammation
3. Fibrotic Tissue
4. Neuropathic (Nerve related) Pain
5. Central Sensitization (brain related pain)
6. Tissue Degeneration / Age related "wear and tear"
7. Muscular Imbalance

3 Key Targets of Treatment of Difficult Pain

The Pain Relief Clinic uses a comprehensive biomedical approach to help patients with their conditions.

We take into account each patient's specific underlying medical condition and select the most appropriate combination of available medical technologies.

1) Healing Damaged Tissue

As pain is often the result of soft tissue damage, it is often necessary to boost the body's ability to heal for long term results. Possible ways to achieve this include:

• Collagen Hydrolysate is produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of collagenous tissue and contains amino acids such as glycine and proline. When taken as an oral supplement, collagen hydrolysate has been shown to be absorbed, accumulate in joint cartilage, and stimulates the activity of chondrocytes. [Evidence]

• Shockwave Therapy is an internationally established method of treating pain and inflammation through stimulating tissue repair. Employing high energy acoustic waves, shockwave induces new blood vessel growth and tissue regeneration, thereby treating many pain conditions.[Evidence]

2) Reducing Inflammation

Inflammatory damage is one of the main mechanisms of pain and reducing inflammation is a good way to help patients quickly reduce pain and discomfort. Possible ways to achieve this include:

• Nutritional Supplementation with herbal anti-oxidants have been shown to improve joint health naturally and safely. [Evidence]

• Radiofrequency is an externally applied, non-invasive treatment. It uses patented long wave radio frequencies to create intense tissue stimulation. [Evidence]

• Nanotechnology Gels are made up of millions of phospholipids, which travel through the skin and tissue upon application, the gel then coats the joint with a layer of protective lubricant, reducing frictional damage. [Evidence]

3) Relieving Mechanical and Nerve Pressure

Ongoing physical injury and mechanical pressure on the nerves is a very significant cause of persistent pain, numbness and weakness. Possible treatment options include:

• Spinal Decompression Therapy is an FDA cleared, non-surgical treatment that has an amazingly high success rate for neck and back pain. It is designed to unload the spinal disc to provide very effective relief of pain and numbness in the back, neck, legs, and arms. [Evidence]
• Joint Mobilization involves careful use of skilled graded forces to move a joint in a desired direction. This form of physical therapy is usually used to improve joint motion and normalize function by improving joint nutrient supply. It also help to control pain and relieve muscle tension. [Evidence]
