Dry needling is an effective addition to manual trigger point therapy. The dry needling process involves inserting a thin needle without any medication - hence the term “dry” - with great precision into the trigger point (stiff muscle) causing the current ailment. This treatment relieves cramps, improves the local perfusion and reduces the local inflammation reactions.

Manual therapy is a specialized sub-field within physiotherapy for the examination and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. It is used in particular for complex movement disorders that require a thorough examination and assessment.

Manual therapy combines various highly specialized treatment techniques including manual techniques and therapeutic exercises. The treatment is based on an objective worked out together with the patient.

Areas of use

• Joint problems
• Spinal pain (back pain, radiation therapy, neck and arm complaints, headaches, dizziness, etc.)
• Muscular complaints
• Dysfunctions of the nervous system
• Rehabilitation after operations

In Medical training therapy (MTT) the musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system are trained through endurance, flexibility, strength and coordination training programs. Targeted training stimuli balance muscle and endurance deficits and maximize the body’s resilience. This results in improved performance both at work and leisure. Competent and specially trained physiotherapists oversee and instruct patients through the MTT treatment.

Do you need a guided or personalized training program? No matter what your sports background is, we will most certainly be able to help you. Thanks to our physiotherapists’ and sports scientists’ many years of experience in the filed of recreational and high-performance sports, at Medbase, you will benefit from a well-founded and wide-ranging expertise in the area of training support.

Shock waves are very short, high-energy acoustic pulses. The shock waves created in a generator are passed through the skin to the injured part of the body where they release their therapeutic effect. This stimulates the body’s own healing powers, which accelerate the healing process.

Shock waves help to heal painful and inflamed tendons/ligaments (enthesopathy). The treatment has also proven to be successful in arterial circulatory disorders and pain therapy.

Areas of use

• Heel pain caused by heel spurs (plantaris fasciitis)
• Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder (tendinosis calcarea)
• Tennis and golfer’s elbow (epicondylitis)
• Pain in the Achilles tendon (achillodynia)
• Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
• Jumpers knee
• Patella tip syndrome
• Hip tendon injury (gluteal endinopathy)
• Muscle-fascia pain (myofascial pain)

The treatment is short and low-risk. The dosage is adapted to suit the pain tolerance of the patient and does not require anesthetics. A marked improvement can already been seen after just 2 to 3 sessions in most cases. 4 to 7 shock wave sessions are carried out on average per patient.

The majority of supplementary insurances will contribute to the cost of the treatment.

Sportphysiotherapie

Wie in der allgemeinen Physiotherapie auch, liegt der Schwerpunkt in der Sportphysiotherapie in der Behandlung, der Rehabilitation und der Prävention von Verletzungen des Bewegungsapparates. In der Sportphysiotherapie legen wir zusätzlich besonderen Wert auf die sportartspezifische Integration. Die Grundlage dafür bilden vor allem intensive, systematisch angewandte, aktive Therapiemassnahmen (indoor/outdoor) nach neusten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen. Die passive Physiotherapie wird, wenn nötig, ergänzend eingesetzt.

Zielgruppen
Personen mit Problemen am Bewegungsapparat sowie Hobby- und Leistungssportler aller Sportarten und Altersklassen.

Voraussetzungen
Zugang über die Grund- und Unfallversicherung (durch ärztliche Überweisung), Zusatzversicherung (Massage), Selbstzahler

Stosswellentherapie

Stosswellen sind energiereiche, besonders kurze Schallimpulse. Erzeugt von einem Generator werden die Stosswellen auf die Schmerzzonen im menschlichen Körper übertragen, wo sie ihre therapeutische Wirkung entfalten. Die Selbstheilungskräfte im Körper werden angeregt und beschleunigen so die Heilungsprozesse. Stosswellen helfen bei Sehnenansatzbeschwerden (Enthesiopathien). Positive Erfahrungen sind auch bei arteriellen Durchblutungsstörungen und in der Schmerztherapie zu beobachten.

Anwendungsgebiete

• Fersensporn-Schmerzen (Fasciitis Plantaris)
• Kalkschulter (Tendinosis Calcarea)
• Tennis- und Golferellbogen (Epicondylitis)
• Achillessehnenbeschwerden (Achillodynie)
• Schienbeinkantenbeschwerden (Tibiakanten Syndrom)
• Patellaspitzensyndrom (Jumpers knee)
• Sehnenbeschwerden im Hüftbereich (Trochanter Tendinopathie)
• Verzögerte Frakturheilung (Pseudarthrosen)
• Muskel- Faszienschmerzen (Myofasziale Schmerzen)

Die Behandlung ist kurz und risikoarm. Die Dosierung wird der Schmerztoleranz der Patienten angepasst und benötigt keine Anästhesie. Bereits nach 2-3 Sitzungen stellt sich in den meisten Fällen eine markante Verbesserung ein. Im Durchschnitt werden 4-7 Stosswellen-Sitzungen durchgeführt. Die Mehrzahl der Zusatzversicherungen beteiligt sich an den Behandlungskosten.

Elektrostimulation der Muskulatur – Compex

Compex (EMS) kommt vor allem nach Operationen zum Einsatz, um Muskelatrophien zu verhindern und um den Muskel nach dem Eingriff wieder besser anzusteuern.

Faszientherapie

Die Faszie ist der weiche Gewebebestandteil des Bindegewebesystems, das den menschlichen Körper durchdringt. Sie bildet eine kontinuierliche, den ganzen Körper durchdringende dreidimensionale Matrix der Strukturunterstützung. Die Faszie durchdringt und umgibt alle Organe, Muskeln, Knochen und Nervenfasern und schafft eine einzigartige Verbindung des Zusammenwirkens der Körpersysteme.

Taping

Taping im Sport ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil. Hierzu zählt das präventive Tape von Gelenken mit starrem Tape oder das Unterstützen von Funktionen beziehungsweise die verbesserte Wahrnehmung von Bewegungen mittels Kinesiotape.
