Based on a peer-reviewed paper (Acute Care 2018). The advantage of vibrotherapy over other rehabilitation methods is manifested in its comprehensive effect. In one go, we get an increase in microcirculation, a reduction in oedema, a reduction in pain and a reduction in stiffness. The aim of the study, published in the journal Acute Care […]
Knee degeneration is a common orthopaedic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Although these degenerations are often associated with ageing, they can also occur in younger people for a variety of reasons. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms and available treatments for knee degeneration. Causes of knee osteoarthritis The causes of […]
Vibrotherapy can rapidly improve mobility in the shoulder joint and reduce pain in patients with frozen shoulder, giving it an advantage over conventional therapeutic methods. Frozen shoulder is characterized by soreness and limitation of elevation of the affected limb and external rotation of the shoulder in the absence of radiographic changes. It is a disease […]
Introduction The phenomenon of the drug cascade, otherwise known as the prescribing cascade, occurs when a doctor prescribes drugs to a patient for newly developed disease symptoms, that are, in effect, side effects of the previous drug. As a result of such an action, the patient is unnecessarily given additional drugs, which are also not […]
The intravenous injection of propofol (a strong anesthetic) is often accompanied by pain. Since in dentistry, vibration is already used to reduce local pain associated with injections, American scientists decided to investigate the effectiveness of vibration analgesia for pain also during ambulatory injections of propofol. Due to the use of vibrations, during the injection of […]
Plastic surgery procedures are often accompanied by severe pain and pharmacological methods of reducing pain are often ineffective. However, there are reports that therapeutic vibration can be a safe and easy-to-use method of reducing pain. Therefore, scientists from the Michigan State University (USA) investigated the effectiveness of vibration in reducing pain in clinical plastic surgery. […]
In sports, it is important to use short breaks to accelerate post-exercise recovery. Previous studies have revealed that: vibration can reduce post-exercise muscle soreness. However, there is still high heterogeneity in the effects of vibration on cardiovascular autonomic activities. Most studies to date have focused on high-frequency vibration. The findings of this study provide a […]
The aim of the presented research by German scientists was to test the effectiveness of a 12-week whole-body vibration training (WBVT) in the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinitis. For comparative purposes, the effects of 12-week conventional eccentric training or the lack of therapeutic intervention during this period were also analyzed in this context. Pain symptoms, […]
The fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) manifests itself as chronic and widespread pain, inflammation of the nervous system and mild systemic inflammation, as well as muscle dysfunction. In addition, depression, sleep disturbances, decreased physical functioning and quality of life are common. A key signaling molecule involved in central and peripheral changes related to pathological conditions responsible for […]
Pain in the lower back is often caused by nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) of unknown etiology. It is not a separate disease entity, but a symptom such as pain or dizziness. In NSLBP, impaired proprioception is observed, i.e. impaired processing of joints positions and movements information by the central nervous system. Moreover, decreased lumbar […]
