Thanks to the purchase of new equipment, AGEL Komárno Hospital has expanded the range of procedures provided by the physiotherapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic. The availability and scope of the provided health care has thus increased.

One of the innovations is SUPER INDUCTIVE SYSTEM (SIS), a therapy that brings immediate pain relief for all conditions – chronic and acute. The principle of the power induction system is based on an intense electromagnetic field that has positive therapeutic effects on human tissue. The main therapeutic effects include pain relief, fracture healing support, muscle relaxation, muscle stimulation and joint mobilisation. It can be used to treat chronic and acute disorders of the neuromuscular and joint system, e.g. in muscle and joint pain, toning and strengthening of muscles, treatment of hypertonia and spasms of various origins, increasing local blood circulation, improving the healing process of fractures due to increased blood circulation, in various injuries of the musculoskeletal system, removal of joint blockages by relaxing hypertonic muscles and subsequent increase in local blood circulation, also in the treatment of spasticity in central motor disorders. Focused shock waves have also been added in the hospital in Komárno . In this therapy, the energy beams are directed to a single location and can treat tissue even at a depth of 6-12 centimetres below the skin surface. The main effect is to reduce local pain, relax muscles and increase blood microcirculation. Focused shock wave therapy is particularly effective for shoulder pain, Achilles tendon pain, groin pain, hamstring pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis and golf elbow problems, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis, and arthritic joints. For the treatment of injuries, diseases and post-operative treatment of the joints, themotor-controlled device works on the principle of increasing the range of movement of the limb by externally applied force. By providing continuous passive movement, the device reduces postoperative pain, minimizes the risk of inflammation, helps increase range of motion, and positively affects muscle strength. The most common indications include conditions following total knee/hip arthroplasty, arthroscopy, cruciate ligament reconstruction, surgical treatment of fractures and pseudoarthrosis. Traction therapy is a passive treatment method of intermittent or continuous traction targeting the cervical or lumbar spine. Traction takes place on a traction recliner with a traction unit. Traction is accurately and individually dosed according to the patient’s tolerance in relief positions. The aim of traction therapy is to reduce pressure on overloaded or disease-altered joints, ligaments and discs of the spine.
By acting through the so-called soft tissues (skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscle), relaxing them and improving blood circulation, excellent therapeutic results are achieved for functional and structural changes of the spine. Maderotherapy is a deep tissue massage based on the principle of lymphatic drainage. It is an aesthetic natural technique excellent for body shaping without damaging the skin or tissue in the thighs, hips and buttocks. The idea is to get the lymph flowing in the right direction. In maderotherapy we use anatomically designed wood tools of various shapes and sizes. It is especially popular among women as it reduces local fat accumulation, tones muscles, and breaks up fat cells. As a result, the skin is firmed, dimples and orange peel disappear as it stimulates elastin production.

It also stimulates blood circulation and the lymphatic system, promoting fat burning. Naturally removes toxins from the body. Among the classic treatments at the AGEL Komárno Hospital, which have been offered to patients for a long time, iselectrotherapy. In this therapy, an electric current is applied by contact electrodes directly through the patient’s skin. It is used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, in the treatment of dysfunctions of the muscular and nervous system, in the treatment of post-traumatic conditions associated with impaired joint mobility, in the alleviation of acute and chronic oedema and in the promotion of peripheral blood circulation. Ultrasound uses the mechanical energy of longitudinal waves penetrating deep into the soft tissues of the body, leading to an increase in local blood flow and metabolism. It is primarily intended for the treatment of muscle and connective tissue disorders and for the treatment of post-traumatic conditions – for example, to reduce swelling and speed up the healing process. In particular, magnetotherapy, which uses low-frequency pulsed magnetic fields, is intended for the treatment of post-traumatic conditions, fractures, soft tissue, degenerative and rheumatic diseases and post-operative and chronic musculoskeletal pain. In laser therapy, the laser beam is absorbed by the tissues and its energy is transmitted to the tissue cells to restore their normal function. The effect is biostimulating, regenerative, anti-inflammatory and analgesic. It is used in painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system, in inflammatory diseases of the skin, mucous membranes and soft tissues, to accelerate the healing of wounds (burns, scars) and soft tissue injuries. Lymphatic drainage, i.e. lymphatic massage, is often used in the treatment of swelling of any origin. Instrumental lymphatic drainage compresses the limb and produces pressure waves that seek to restore both the lymphatic and venous systems.
