Electrical Muscle Stimulation at the "Kuyalnik" Sanatorium
One of the effective methods of physiotherapeutic treatment used at the "Kuyalnik" Sanatorium is electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). This type of physiotherapy is widely used by the doctors of the institution to restore the functions of the musculoskeletal system, to rehabilitate patients after injuries and diseases of the nervous system.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is the application of electric impulses to the muscles. This technique is based on the ability of muscle tissue to contract under the influence of electrical stimuli. During the procedure, low-frequency pulsed currents are supplied to the problem area using special electrodes, causing muscle contractions. Thus, EMS allows artificially stimulating the work of the muscles, restoring their normal function.
The use of EMS at the "Kuyalnik" Sanatorium allows solving a wide range of therapeutic and rehabilitation tasks:
- Restoration of muscle strength and tone in paresis and paralysis of various genesis
- Relief of pain syndromes in the musculoskeletal system
- Improvement of blood circulation in problem areas
- Stimulation of regenerative processes in damaged tissues
- Prevention of muscle atrophy during limb immobilization
- Preparation of muscles for active physical exertion
The effectiveness of EMS is due to the complex impact on the patient's body. Under the influence of electrical impulses, metabolic processes are activated in the muscles, blood supply improves, and pain sensitivity decreases. All this contributes to faster restoration of impaired functions.
Electrical muscle stimulation sessions at the "Kuyalnik" Sanatorium are carried out according to an individual program developed by a physiotherapist, taking into account the patient's disease characteristics, general health and tolerance to the procedure. The duration of the EMS course, the protocol of exposure and the parameters of the electric current are selected strictly individually for each patient.
Qualified specialists of the health resort carefully monitor the progress of the procedures, timely adjust the mode of exposure if necessary. As a result, the course of electrical muscle stimulation proceeds as efficiently and safely as possible for the patient.
In addition to restorative and rehabilitation effects, EMS has a pronounced analgesic, anti-inflammatory and resorptive effect. This allows the use of this physiotherapy method not only in comprehensive treatment, but also for the prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Thus, electrical muscle stimulation occupies an important place in the arsenal of physiotherapeutic techniques of the "Kuyalnik" Sanatorium. Combining safety, high efficiency and good tolerability, EMS is an integral component of the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients suffering from diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system.
