- ArthritisPathological factors that can cause compression also include enlarged lymph ganglia, fractures, arthrosis, arthritis, ulnar aneurysm, tumors and anatomical formations around the Guyon canal, heredity, systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, liver diseases, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, alcohol.
- CryotherapyPhysiotherapy. Often, strengthening and stretching exercises are simply necessary. Massage, manual therapy performed by an experienced physiotherapist are the most important. Physical therapy (for example, cryotherapy, ultrasound, iontophoresis) are used as additional means. Acupuncture can also have an effect. A physiotherapist will teach you ways to strengthen muscle and joint flexibility at home. He should also indicate how to perform basic exercises daily without straining the knees. Thanks to the multidirectional individually optimized approach to each patient, good results will be achieved.

- Pediatric CarePhysical therapy in pediatrics is widely used. Many types are used at the moment of baby birth. Physiotherapy gives good results in the treatment of a sufficient number of diseases….
- Smoking CessationEducation has many components. Counseling about smoking cessation is important. It is useful to learn special breathing techniques (for example, exhaling through closed lips when exhalation begins with the mouth closed to reduce the respiratory rate, thereby reducing gas absorption), as well as the principles of maintaining physical energy. An explanation of the treatment is needed, including the proper use of drugs and palliative care planning, if necessary;
- Male InfertilityMany men do not think about their health until the first problems and diseases appear. Often, even with alarming symptoms, men are in no hurry to make an appointment with a urologist or prostate therapist, preferring to solve problems on their own. To avoid the formation of severe chronic diseases, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of these disorders in time. If you do not monitor your health, you may eventually have to neglect such undesirable consequences as prostatitis, adenoma, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, and even cancer.

- ImmunizationsPreventive vaccinations are of great importance. In hot countries, where local insects transmit infections, to which U.S. athletes have no immunity, there is a risk of getting sick and getting to the hospital even before the competition. A physical therapist must know what diseases people from other regions of the globe are most susceptible to. Vaccinations are given in advance to protect competitors from infectious diseases.

- Pregnancy“I have back pain after delivery” – such a complaint, unfortunately, can often be heard from young mothers. Do not ignore unpleasant symptoms, considering them a normal consequence of an experienced pregnancy and childbirth. All changes in the woman’s body during the bearing of the baby are provided by nature and theoretically should be painless and reversible. If you have back pain after childbirth, there is definitely a reason for this. Let’s see what causes uncomfortable sensations in various areas of the back and how to deal with it.
- Labor and DeliveryAfter childbirth, natural changes in the body occur in the reverse order. The body again gets used to its normal mass, muscles recover, the center of gravity changes, the level of progesterone decreases, which accordingly leads to a decrease in the elasticity of cartilage joints and ligaments. Rehabilitation takes at least six months, and often a year or more. However, you should not treat pain as something inevitable and bear it.

- Lung CancerIn the past, pulmonary rehabilitation has been used for patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, an increasing number of data indicate the benefits of using it in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), cystic fibrosis (CF), bronchiectasis, asthma, and lung cancer. For patients undergoing lung transplantation, as well as surgery to reduce lung volume, pulmonary rehabilitation was also beneficial, both before and after surgery.

- UltrasoundUltrasound treatment — such therapy has a mechanical, physico-chemical and mild thermal effect on the body. Due to the properties of ultrasound, redox processes in tissues occur faster. Ultrasound is used in the treatment of internal diseases, diseases of joints, ENT organs.
- MRIIf you have acute pain or constant discomfort in the back, it will be advisable, first of all, to contact a neurologist who will exclude serious problems with the spine, for example, inflammatory processes, pinched intervertebral discs or diseases of nerve endings and muscles. Perhaps the doctor will recommend you using a postpartum bandage or special corset. If a medical specialist suspects an intervertebral hernia – protrusion of the intervertebral disc beyond the upper and lower vertebrae – you will be advised to have an MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging) of the spine. This study is safe for breastfeeding women.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyIn case of damage to the lower extremities, a lymphedema therapist prescribes an ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity and small pelvis. If lymphedema of the hands is detected, a chest x-ray is indicated. To determine the patency of blood vessels and the localization area of the lymphatic block, X-ray lymphography, lymphoscintigraphy with Tc-99m, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography are prescribed. These methods allow you to identify defects in the lymphatic channel, areas of crimp and lymphangiectasia, valve failure.
- Iontophoresis
- Radiation TherapyThe main complication of expanded mastectomy due to the treatment of breast cancer is upper limb lymphedema. The disease onset can be observed in the case of parasitic infections or recurrent streptococcal lymphangitis.
- OrthopedicsTotal Orthopedics, Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation. Services are orthopedic/sports injuries, pre/post surgical rehabilitation, tendonitis, back/neck pain, herniated discs, running injuries, dizziness/BPPV. Location: 125 Marshall Street, 7th floor, Hoboken, NJ 07030.
- ArthroscopyArthroscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure. It provides safe restoration of most intraarticular structures. In two small (several mm) skin incisions in the front of the knee, a longitudinal chamber and instruments are inserted into the knee. This procedure is often performed in athletes.
- Pinched NerveIf your back hurts after delivery, do not delay the solution to this problem. Improper posture can lead to fluid retention in the body and, consequently, an increase in body weight. Spinal “distortions” sometimes cause painful stagnation of milk and even postpartum depression due to pinched nerve endings in the vertebrae.
- Joint ReplacementAqua Health Physical Rehabilitation Center, Brooklyn. Services are aquatic therapy programs, balance rehabilitation, CVA/neurological disorder, joint replacement, hand and upper extremity therapy, chronic pain conditions, knee osteoarthritis, orthopedic disorders, RA/OA, scoliosis, spinal rehabilitation. Location: 2753 Coney Island Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11235.
- Arthroscopy
- Knee ReplacementInjections of corticosteroids, a steroidal block of the knee. Steroids are potent anti-inflammatory drugs that eliminate pain. Unfortunately, they have very negative systemic and local effects. Thus, this form of therapy should be reserved only for patients who have been prescribed a knee replacement surgery for a short time.
- EczemaWith lymphedema, a manual lymphatic drainage massage, device pneumocompression, physiotherapeutic treatment methods and selection of compression underwear are indicated. Among the drugs, phlebotonic agents with a lymphotropic effect, immunostimulants, vasoprotectives and enzymes are prescribed to the patient. If trophic ulcers or eczema occur, local treatment is indicated. In especially severe cases with insufficient effectiveness of conservative therapy, surgical treatment is performed.
- PsoriasisDarsonval – a procedure for influencing the body by pulsed alternating currents of high frequency and voltage. Darsonval is usually used for local influences that irritate the nerve receptors of the skin and mucous membranes. Indications for use: diseases of ENT organs, some dental diseases, psoriasis, dermatoses, vascular diseases.

- Aquatic TherapyScientists have noticed that water has a “memory”. It can transmit it to the human body. Therefore, in each case, water is selected individually for aquatic therapy for each patient.
- Manual TherapyPreviously, manual therapy (hand therapy) was considered traditional medicine. However, since 1990, it is an officially recognized WHO technique that is used in medicine. The main principle of therapy is the deep study of muscles, vertebrae, intervertebral discs, joints, ligaments using only hands. It allows eliminating pinched nerves, restoring mobility to the spine, and much more, which we will discuss later.
