introduction
Imagine that Physiotherapy at Home Dubai services can save you from surgical treatments for 70% of physical injuries and moderate back pain.
This is very important at a time when the human body structure has become weaker than ever before and office jobs have become widespread in Dubai.
Which is the main cause of more than 50% of back and spine pain and injuries.
NABD Medical Center shares a comprehensive guide about this type of treatment and healthcare services.
What are Physiotherapy at home Dubai services?
One of the important non-surgical treatments in the health field. which is mainly based on movement and stimulation techniques and protocols to treat a group of disorders related to the musculoskeletal system (bones and muscles). or the nervous system and others.
This treatment is mainly based on the principle that “the organ that does not work atrophies and dies”
So it depends on the process of gradually preserving the functions of the motor organs either through repeated and increasingly intense movements. or through physiological stimulation. (ultrasound waves or electrical stimulation).
The most important feature of this type of medical practice is the possibility of doing it at home in cooperation between the injured patient and the doctor or physical therapy specialist.
Physiotherapy at home Dubai plan implementation stages
The treatment process of treating motor and neurological disorders with physical therapy goes through the following stages:
- Diagnosing the injury, identifying it, and knowing its cause.
- Discussing the appropriate treatment method between specialists and the patient.
- Developing the treatment plan and the correct timetable.
- Implementing the plan and conducting a periodic assessment of the injury condition.
Physical therapy needs a long treatment process that requires many treatment sessions.
Types of Physiotherapy at Home Dubai Services
There are many options and methods for physical therapy. Which are chosen based on injury location and mechanism.
- Exercises or manual massage
- Thermal replacement of the injury
- Electrotherapy
- Ultrasound therapy
Exercises or manual massage
A set of movement exercises approved by the WHO in physiotherapy. which are designed based on functional and anatomical studies of the affected organ.
This type of Physiotherapy at home Dubai services can be performed on the patient’s bed or in his home garden
Where the specialist cooperates with the patient to perform a set of movements that aim to tighten and relax the muscles and move the joints correctly and repeatedly. It includes a long list of treatment exercises:
- Stretching
- Balance
- Expanding the range of motion
- Strengthening
- Breathing
- Functional rehabilitation
Thermal Physiotherapy at home Dubai
Treatment based on the functional response of the affected organs to temperature changes. This type of physical therapy depends on exposing the affected area to very low or high temperatures.
When exposed to high temperatures
Tissues respond to the high temperature by expanding the blood vessels supplied to them to increase heat exchange and equalize the temperature in the area.
The treatment here occurs by increasing blood flow to the site of injury, which contributes to starting cellular compensation processes and increasing nutrition within the affected area.
The high temperature also causes muscle relaxation, which contributes to reducing the tensile forces that the adjacent motor organs (bones and joints) are exposed to.
This type of heat treatment is commonly used to relieve joint pain resulting from chronic inflammation or muscle spasm for a long period.
When exposed to low temperatures
Tissues respond to extreme cold by constricting the blood vessels supplied to them to reduce heat exchange and work to maintain normal body temperatures.
The treatment depends on reducing inflammation by reducing cells’ arrival to the site of injury.
Also, the decrease in temperature helps reduce the transmission of pain-sensing nerve impulses to the cerebral cortex. (masking the feeling of pain).
Physiotherapy commonly uses this method at home Dubai in cases of severe injuries that cause inflammation or swelling. such as sports injuries.
Electrotherapy
Harnessing the electrical activity of the nervous and muscular systems. by sending artificial electrical signals. to stimulate tissues with low-intensity and low-potential currents in a gradually increasing manner.
There are main types of this type of Physiotherapy at home Dubai services and they are listed below:
Deep stimulation
Interferential currents
Nerve stimulation
Transcutaneous muscular stimulation
Electrotherapy techniques are commonly used in cases of severe pain, reversible muscle atrophy and severe sports injuries.
Ultrasound therapy
This type of physical therapy depends on the response of the injured tissues to the repeated high-frequency vibrations. caused by ultrasound waves.
The response to these vibrations results in an increase in temperature and increased cellular activity in the injured area. which helps the injured cells to regain their activity.
Muscle ligament injuries and inflamed soft tissues are the main indications for this type of physical therapy. because they are the most capable of responding to ultrasound waves.
When do I need Physiotherapy at home Dubai?
NABD Medical Center provides a range of physical therapy services according to the highest and best standards and using the best medical devices designed specifically for this purpose.
These treatments become necessary in cases such as:
Recovery from sports injuries
Sports injuries occur mainly in the joints, muscle tissues and ligaments, which requires immobilization of the injured area for a period of time.
This prompts the start of the physical therapy process with the appropriate technique according to the instructions of the Bib to protect the tissues of the area affected by atrophy.
Supporting the movements of the elderly
Old people suffer from a set of problems resulting from the decline in the effectiveness of their motor organs with increasing age, which threatens to weaken and completely lose movement.
Therefore, home elderly care services include appropriate physical therapy sessions that include well-thought-out movement exercises.
Post-surgery recovery
Surgeries are followed by a short period of bed rest in order to avoid any potential complications of the surgery. due to incorrect movements.
The role of Physiotherapy at home Dubai services is highlighted here in supporting the patient’s healthy motor system. based on his health condition, the type of surgery and its location to avoid muscle atrophy
Neurological Physiotherapy
Diseases in the motor nervous system cause a decline in motor activity, so it is necessary after identifying the disease to develop a joint physical therapy plan to maintain motor functions and restore the effectiveness of the nervous system.
Conclusion
NABD Medical Center has provided you with its comprehensive guide to the most important Physiotherapy at home Dubai services that the center provides to all patients who need them in the middle of their homes through the specialized physical therapy team working within the center.
FAQs about Physiotherapy at home Dubai
What equipment does a physiotherapist use?
Physiotherapy treatments rely primarily on knowledge of the anatomy and function of the affected area and manual skill rather than on medical equipment.
However, the therapist may use a range of devices for higher levels of treatment such as electrotherapy or ultrasound.
How long does physiotherapy take to work?
The complete success of the physiotherapist requires a relatively long period of time compared to drug or surgical treatment of various injuries.
Some injuries require a period of 3 months of weekly sessions until the results of the procedure appear.
While some injuries require lifelong motor support to ensure the effectiveness of the affected organs is maintained
