2. Treatment

2.1. Drug Treatment:

In the case of acute symptoms the treatments are very often medications based (a few day, max 1-2 weeks)., either anti inflammatory drugs or pain killers are given or the combination of the two. In case of long-lasting illnesses a long-term medicinal therapy plan is put together. This can be a more serious arthritis, where short term recovery cannot be expected. With combining medications their interactions should carefully be taken into consideration, just like their side effects.

2.2.Infusion treatment:

Often applied for disk hernia very successfully because in most cases it releases the back pain reduces the hernia and improves the patient motion abilities, symptoms are decrease on a long term base. The infusion treatment very often ends with a medicinal treatment where the medications are slowly withdrawn from the body.

2.3. Soft Tissue Injection

Very often long-term results are achieved with 1-2 anti inflammatory injections to the painful soft tissues (neck area, scapulocostal soft tissue, paravertebral etc) or injecting the spine area in a special way, which releases pain and improves motion.

2.4. Articular Punction

Often applied in a case of abnormal synovial effusion. It ofter occurs with knee, shoulder joints that in case of their inflammation 10-80 ml fluid appears which can be detected with hand examination. The capsule is filled by the enormous amount of fluid causing pain and limitation of movement, and sustain the inflammation of the joint. Very good healing results can be achieved by draining the fluid and rinsing the joint.


2.5. Intraarticular Injection

The intraarticular injections are often applied during the articular punction, after the punction anti inflammatory medicine is injected into the joint with a special procedure. This medicine will reduce the inflammation locally, which has the advantage of fast effect, high medicinal content in the joint, and less side effects (eg. gastrointestinal side effects) especially compared to those treatments which use the blood as a transport mechanism.


2.6. Exercises, Articular Protection

Our health center also offers possibilities for trainings of joint illnesses, damaged spine or courses where the special exercises can be learnt. Once making these exercises a daily routine most patient achieve to maintain a permanently good health condition. These exercises will also help in learning how to live with the damaged organ of locomotion. It can also be learnt how to prevent further damage of other joints. Gymnastics can help in strengthening certain muscle groups which will reestablish a harmonic functioning of the joints, prevent further damage and restore functionally the already existing ill-functions. Medical massage is also available, which can help in reestablishing the muscle tone and its stretching conditions, and also loosening them will lead to ?more balanced muscles. The whole body will become more refreshed, relaxed and the patient will feel better and work more. The medical massage and gymnastics have equal importance in the recovery process as the most modern medications. Their effect-mechanism is scientifically proved ad there are no side effects.


2.7. Orthopedics

In our center there is also a possibility to involve orthopedic surgeon, if necessary, to carry out orthopedic surgery to achieve successful treatments. In many cases a smaller surgery helps in long term recovery more effectively than a longer drug treatment.
