What is physiotherapy and trauma rehabilitation?
Physical therapy and trauma rehabilitation is a specialty that focuses on the treatment of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Through manual techniques, therapeutic exercises and physical modalities, physical therapists help patients reduce pain, improve mobility, regain strength and prevent future injuries.
What injuries does trauma physiotherapy treat?
Trauma physiotherapy is a medical specialty that deals with the treatment of injuries that occur as a result of trauma, whether accidental or sports-related. These injuries can affect various structures of the musculoskeletal system, such as bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Sprains and Strains
Injuries affecting ligaments (sprains) or muscles (strains), characterized by pain, inflammation and functional limitation.
Fractures
Partial or complete fractures of a bone, which may be open (with bone exposure) or closed (without exposure). They can affect different bones in the body, the most common being fractures of the wrist, ankle, clavicle and humerus.
Dislocations
Displacement of a bone from its normal joint, causing severe pain, swelling and loss of mobility. The most common dislocations are those of the shoulder, knee, hip and elbow.
Meniscus injuries
Damage or tearing of the meniscal cartilage, which is located in the knee and acts as a shock absorber. These injuries can cause pain, swelling and joint locking.
Shoulder injuries
These may include tendonitis (inflammation of the tendons), bursitis (inflammation of the bursae), and rotator cuff tears (a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder).
Wrist and hand injuries
They include carpal tunnel syndrome (compression of the median nerve in the wrist), De Quervain's tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon that moves the thumb), and sprains or fractures of the wrist and fingers.
Knee injuries
These may include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries, chondromalacia patella (degeneration of the cartilage behind the kneecap), and patellar tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone).
Ankle injuries
These may include sprains (ligament injuries), fractures, and Achilles tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon that connects the heel to the calf).
What conditions does neurological physical therapy treat?
Trauma physiotherapy offers numerous benefits, including:
- Pain reduction: Through manual techniques and physical modalities.
- Restoring mobility: Through therapeutic exercises and stretching.
- Increased muscle strength: To prevent future injuries and improve physical performance.
- Improved joint function: To regain range of motion and flexibility.
- Prevention of complications: By preventing joint stiffness and muscle atrophy.
- Return to physical activity: With a personalized rehabilitation program.
