Physical Medicine and Rehabilitación

The rehabilitative doctor conducts a thorough assessment of injuries to identify their causes and determine the most appropriate treatment. In collaboration with physiotherapists and podiatrists, they design a personalized rehabilitation plan, setting clear objectives and coordinating the necessary therapies to ensure comprehensive and effective recovery. This multidisciplinary approach allows for a tailored treatment plan that addresses all aspects of the injury, from pain management to functional recovery, enhancing the patient’s overall well-being and return to normal activities.

Infiltrations are a minimally invasive technique used to administer medications directly to the affected area, such as joints, tendons, or muscles. They help quickly reduce pain and inflammation, being especially effective in conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, or bursitis. The localized action of the medication enhances mobility and accelerates the recovery process by targeting the root cause of the pain or inflammation. This approach allows for more focused and effective treatment, promoting a faster return to normal activities.

Hematoma drainage is a technique used to evacuate blood accumulations in tissues following trauma or surgery. It helps reduce inflammation and pain, improving mobility in the affected area. Additionally, it prevents potential complications related to blood accumulation and accelerates functional recovery, allowing the patient to regain movement more quickly and resume their usual activities.

Hydrodilatation is an advanced treatment for adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) that involves injecting fluid into the joint capsule to stretch it and release adhesions. This procedure significantly improves the range of motion and reduces pain, facilitating a more effective rehabilitation.

PRP utilizes the growth factors present in the patient’s blood to stimulate the regeneration of damaged tissues. It is especially beneficial for tendon, muscle, and joint injuries, promoting faster recovery and naturally reducing inflammation.

The rehabilitation doctor provides an accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal and nervous system injuries through clinical examinations and the use of advanced tools such as ultrasound, which allows real-time visualization of muscles, tendons, and joints. Additionally, they interpret complementary tests, such as X-rays or MRIs, to obtain a comprehensive view. This approach ensures personalized and effective treatment, optimizing recovery and preventing relapses.

A nerve block involves injecting anesthetics or anti-inflammatory medications near a nerve to temporarily interrupt pain transmission. This technique is ideal for managing chronic, neurological, or musculoskeletal pain, providing lasting relief and facilitating the patient’s active rehabilitation.

This procedure, also known as lavage, removes calcium deposits in tendons or joints through the injection and aspiration of saline solution. It is highly effective in relieving pain and restoring mobility in cases of calcific tendonitis, particularly in the shoulder.

Hyaluronic acid is used to improve lubrication and cushioning of the joints in cases of osteoarthritis or joint wear. This treatment relieves pain, improves functionality, and delays the progression of the disease, making it a safe and effective long-term alternative.

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to treat damaged tissues, improving blood circulation and stimulating regeneration. It is highly effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, calcific tendinitis, and epicondylitis, reducing pain and restoring functionality without the need for surgery.
