Physiotherapy
What is physiotherapy?
Along with drug therapy, physiotherapy is essential. It strengthens the muscles around the spine and, beyond relieving symptoms, massages the area causing the pain to release tension and stimulates the nerves to correct the problem and treat the pain. Heat therapy, electrotherapy, cold therapy and exercise therapy reduce pain and restore function.
St. Peter's Hospital physiotherapy
Using heat, ice, air, light, electricity, electromagnetic waves, ultrasound, mechanical force and gravity, we induce rapid regeneration of spinal and joint tissue damaged before or after surgery, relieving pain so that patients can return quickly to daily life.
What is manual therapy?
It is a method of treating pain by massaging the area causing the pain to release tension and stimulating the nerves to correct it.
It helps treat and prevent conditions of the spine and the various joints, and supports post-operative care.
