"Achieve Pain Relief with Regenerative Treatment and Physiotherapy"

 

Regenerative therapy is a branch of medicine that helps repair, restore and regenerate damaged or injured cells to rebuild impaired function caused due to trauma, ageing and diseases. Physiotherapy, if started alongside regenerative treatment, can help patients recover to their optimal level. Regenerative rehabilitation therapy evolves as the combination of regenerative medicine and physiotherapy. While regenerative therapy targets the cause of the pain by triggering the healing process, physiotherapy enhances that recovery and give longer-lasting effects by strengthening. 

After undergoing regenerative therapy, your physiotherapist can recommend personalised exercise programmes to achieve your goals. By following recommended Regenerative rehabilitation therapy, patients can return to their everyday lives as quickly as possible.

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is the maintenance or improvement of mobility, physical abilities, fitness and quality of life using movement, exercise therapy and other physical methods. Both regenerative medicine and physiotherapy go hand in hand to reduce pain and increase the quality of life. As pain decreases, the ability to move and strengthen increases; this is where a physiotherapist plays a significant role to recommend the right strategy at the right time. The typical customised rehabilitation programme includes:

• Biomechanical assessment and goal setting
• Graded movement within pain levels
• Strengthening exercises
• Balance rehab
• Resistance training
• Functional rehab
• Electrical stimulation

What physiotherapist does?

The physiotherapist’s role is to help you recover optimally by evaluating your movement and prescribing the relevant exercise programme accordingly. However, it is you who must take active participation in the recovery procedure.

Throughout the sessions, the physiotherapist will monitor the progress of your recovery by carefully checking the strength and endurance as well as symptoms like pain or swelling, if any. Always inform your physiotherapist if you are having any difficulty adhering to your programme so that the physiotherapist can adjust the exercises to suit you. Eventually, by sticking to your exercise program, physiotherapy will help you in increasing your resistance level, improve mobility, function and wellbeing.

What are the benefits of Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy involves active movements to help prevent patients from losing function by activating muscles and enhancing sensory pathways.

• Active movements such as strengthening, balance exercises, coordination, and endurance training can stimulate muscle memory, promote signal transmission in nerves, and inhibit atrophy.
• Physiotherapy can restore the range of motion, increase muscle strength, and promote functional recovery. It can improve your balance and coordination to reduce the risk of falls.
• Physiotherapy can assist in reducing inflammation, pain and swelling to restore mobility and flexibility.
• Physiotherapy also promotes wellbeing in a patient and, combined with Regenerative treatment, can provide advanced results in joint pain treatment.
• Passive treatments such as massage, cold and heat therapy can also work as a pain reliever; however, they may not give as long-lasting effects as strength and movement.

Take away

Regenerative rehabilitation therapy can be the right solution to reduce joint replacement surgeries’ financial, physical, and emotional burden. Under the medical team’s guidance, you can adopt physiotherapy after the regenerative treatment to achieve its full benefits. Through physiotherapy in combination with regenerative medicine, you may be able to restore, maintain and improve your mobility, function and wellbeing and relieve the symptoms of joint pain faster so you can get back to an active, pain-free life.

Treat Shoulder Impingement With Regenerative Treatment

 

WHAT IS SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT?

The main cause of shoulder impingement is shoulder pain. When you lift the arm above the shoulder level, the subacromial space becomes narrow. Hence, the soft tissues, tendons, and muscles surrounding the area will become tired due to increased pressure. This extra pressure aggravates the rotator cuff, and this causes shoulder impingement. As shoulder impingement is common among swimmers, it is also called a swimmer’s shoulder. Shoulder impingement is also present among the racket players and the throwers as they frequently move their arms above shoulder level. It can also occur if someone falls by stretching the arms in the outer portion.

Suppose there is damage in the rotator cuff, the heaviness inside the tendon increases, which will lead to the compression of the blood capillaries. Hence, there is an inflammation in the tissues, and the pain slowly starts to aggravate. The pain will travel towards the backside, and you’ll have difficulty sleeping at night. This ailment, if not treated, may lead to the shoulder’s rotator cuff tear.

REASONS FOR SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT

There is no specific reason for getting shoulder impingement. However, the repeated usage of the shoulder may cause shoulder impingement. Excluding the sportspersons, many occupations involve lifting heavy things.  These activities can increase the risk of shoulder impingement. People having shoulder injuries like dislocation and elders can also have shoulder impingement.

SIGNS OF SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT

The signs that may appear when you have shoulder impingement include sudden pain in the shoulder when you lift your arms over your head and backwards. There are many other symptoms like weakness, restricted movements, and a nagging pain frequented from the front part of the sidearm. This nagging pain will worsen during the night time.

CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT METHOD OF SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT

There are many forms of conventional therapies like prescribing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, RICE formula (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation), and corticosteroid injections.

Many side-effects are involved in the conventional shoulder impingement methods of treatment. Prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to heart problems, kidney-related problems, and gastrointestinal problems. Administering steroid injections can cause damage to the normal tissues that are around the damaged area.  Hence, usage of these steroidal injections for a prolonged period can lead to weakness. Some women also experience changes in their moods as well as the menstrual cycle.

As a last resort, your physician will suggest surgery to get rid of the symptoms. But shoulder surgeries may have many side effects like bleeding, stiffness of joints, infection, and the damage of nerves around the area of the surgery.
