Neuromuscular Re-education

Neuromuscular re-education seeks to retrain the nervous system to produce normal movement.
After a brain injury, the relationship between the brain and muscles can become disrupted. Fortunately, using specific retraining methods that activate neuroplasticity in the brain enhances those new neural connections.

In doing so, neuromuscular re-education can improve the function of your nervous system and the way it produces movement.

Most of it will involve practicing specific movements, such as moving your arms or standing up. The more you practice, the more you reinforce those pathways, which strengthens the connection between the brain and muscles.

Functional Electrical Stimulation

It is a form of treatment that applies brief electrical pulses to paralyzed or weakened muscles via electrodes to help improve or restore their function. Although largely underutilized, this form of treatment is being used by some providers to assist with exercises that help to boost heart and lung function, as well as improve bladder and bowel function, and increase mobility.

Activity-Based Therapy

What is also known as activity-based restorative therapy (ABRT), Activity-Based Therapy is a form of therapeutic activity that assists in the rehabilitation and recovery of individuals with neurological conditions, spinal cord injuries, and other traumatic injuries. It involves a lot of repetitive muscle movements to promote neuroplasticity, strength training, and gait training.

Unlike conventional physical therapy, ABT requires you to physically be in a standing position and not seated in your wheelchair or lying down. This method of treatment allows you to enjoy the benefits of standing and avoid the health issues that result from sitting for prolonged periods, including (but not limited to):

1. Muscle spasms;
2. Respiratory issues;
3. Skin ulcers (pressure sores);
4. Osteoporosis;
5. Bowel function issues; and

Conventional Physiotherapy

This type of traditional therapy involves a lot of hands-on therapy, exercises, and stretching maneuvers to facilitate movement. The goal is to help a patient manage pain, improve circulation, prevent or reduce muscle atrophy, contractures, and weakness, and improve their overall health and wellness. This is done by helping to retrain your brain and body in an attempt to regain some or all lost mobility.

"RADIATION ONCOLOGY: What Is It?"

Also known as radiotherapy or radiation therapy, Radiation Oncology is a medical specialization for the multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment. It uses carefully targeted and regulated doses of high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation causes some cancer cells to die immediately after treatment, but most die or become incapacitated as a result of the radiation-induced damage to the cancer cell's chromosomes and DNA.

As of 2020, millions of patients were diagnosed with different types of cancer. More than half of the cancer patients receive radiation therapy to treat most - if not all - types of cancer.

There are many reasons why a doctor recommends radiation therapy for cancer patients:

(1) It may be the only primary treatment for cancer;
(2) To shrink the cancerous tumor before proceeding to surgical treatment;
(3) To stop the growth of the remaining cancer cells, if there are any, after surgery;
(4) Combining it with other treatments, like chemotherapy, to destroy cancer cells, and;
(5) To reduce symptoms caused by cancer.

"PHYSICAL THERAPY: What Is It?"

Many patients who had undergone a surgical treatment were required by their doctors for a therapy for them in order to return or regain their physical abilities. Usually, these patients were diagnosed with diseases or injuries involving the brain, spinal cord, nerves and musculoskeletal system.

Physical therapy addresses illnesses or injuries that limit a patient's ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. It helps a patient in their rehabilitation using exercises and equipment designed to regain or improve their physical abilities through various physical examinations and diagnosis.

Physical therapists practice in many venues, such as private physical therapy clinics, nursing facilities, extended care facilities, private homes, hospitals, sports training and facilities, and other rehabilitation facilities. Our Urban Medic physical therapists, for an instance, was located at a clinic.

The effectiveness of physical therapy has been tested and proven for improving outcomes in musculoskeletal conditions. Several surveys found evidences that the use of spinal manipulation by physical therapists is a safe option to improve outcomes of lower back pain. Studies also suggested that physical therapy may be equivalent of even preferable than surgery; manual therapy techniques focused on the neck and the median nerve combined with stretching exercises, in particular.

"GENERAL SURGERY: What Is It?"

Several surveys found that patients in need of general surgery are increasing each year. Most of these patients came from severe injuries and trauma due to accidents while others are suffering from diseases in need of surgical treatment.

According to the American Board of Surgery, General Surgery is “a discipline that requires knowledge of and responsibility for the preoperative, operative, and postoperative management of patients with a broad spectrum of diseases, including those which may require non-operative, elective, or emergency surgical treatment.”

General surgery is a specialization that covers the main areas of surgical treatment. General surgeons treat diseases, injuries, deformities or other conditions of the abdomen, breast, head and neck, blood vessels and digestive tract. Despite its name, General Surgery is not only performing for a wide range of common ailments; they can be also responsible for patient care before, during and after surgery.
