Orthopaedic and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

  • Edema resorption
  • Rapid pain reduction
  • Improve injuries and scars
  • Stimulate ligament and tendon healing
  • Increase bone calcification
  • Muscle injury treatment

Functional treatment after:

  • ACL surgery
  • knee prosthesis
  • hip prosthesis
  • elbow prosthesis
  • shoulder prosthesis
  • aftermath of arthroscopies
  • scapulo-humeral periarthritis
  • rotator cuff injury
  • frozen shoulder
  • painful shoulder
  • impingement syndrome
  • aftermath of fractures

CareTherapy® helps to increase the microcirculation at the arteriolar, venular and lymphatic levels. At the matrix level, there is a degranulation of mast cells.
Its main effect consists of a phlogistic stimulus that exploits the enhanced capacity of macrophages and granulocytes to incorporate toxins and other pathogenic noxae, then pouring them into the haemolymphatic stream and thus creating a real connective and excretory drainage.

Neuro-Rehabilitation

  • Improve joint mobility
  • Reduce muscle and joint pain
  • Reduce edema
  • Reduce hypertonus
  • Reduce spasticity
  • Reduce muscle hypotrophy

CareTherapy® is used on thousands of patients with neurological disorders every day to reduce muscle and joint pain, and to improve both active and passive functional movement.

The kit of static electrodes, which are rapid and easy to apply, effectively assists the therapist during passive mobilization, facilitating muscle activation and extending the range of motion.

The action of this therapy on the axons of the ANS and its influence on the CNS. On the axonal endings of the CNS containing nor-adrenaline, receptors of endogenous opioids of the endorphin and enkephalin type have been identified. These can inhibit, in the vegetative centers of the brainstem and the limbic system, the release of nor-adrenaline and substance P, thus providing an attenuation of the painful symptoms that come from the periphery.

Hokfeld et al., 1980

Manual therapy

The CareTherapy® system elevates quality standards of treatment provided by rehabilitation and physiotherapy centres, improving man-machine interaction and amplifying the efficacy of manual therapy.

Useful in treatment in presence of:

  •  lumbago - lumbar sciatic pain
  • herniated vertebral discs
  • cervical pain - cervicobrachialgia
  • vertebral canal stenosis
  •  hip arthrosis
  • knee arthrosis
  • hand arthrosis
  • shoulder impingement syndrome
  • aftermath of fractures

Vasodilation of the arterial, venous and lymphatic sectors necessarily causes an increase in blood-lymphatic flow with a great improvement in drainage and therefore with a notable anti-edema action particularly useful in all situations of inflammation.

With the edema, the various algogenic kinins located within the inflammatory focus (bradykinins, catecholamines, histamine, PGE2, leukotrienes, etc.) are also removed, which, together with the neoformation of endogenous opioids, explain the marked analgesic action of the method.

Sports Medicine

CareTherapy® can be very useful during intensive training and preparation for competitions by improving muscle oxygenation and power.

Convenient treatment in presence of:

  • sprains
  • muscle tears
  • epicondylitis
  • plantar fascitis
  • tendinitis, tendinosis
  • capsulitis
  • bursitis
  • osteitis pubis
  • hematoma
  • edema
  • meniscal and ligamental injuries
  • distortion
  • dislocation
  • shoulder and knee instability

CareTherapy® is able to modify the vascular tone of the capillary bed in which the smooth muscle of the tunica media emits frequency-modulated action potentials that determine the release of neurotransmitters from the final axons of the sympathetic nervous system. (Priebe,1990). A cyclic synthesis of ATP occurs from ADP in phase with the muscular contraction. At the same rate, nutrients and oxygen flow first into the matrix and then into the cell. CareTherapy® is able to induce an electrochemical polarization of the tissues.
