View profileWhen physical therapy can help
Physical therapy uses physical agents such as electromagnetic energy, a magnetic field, movement and manual work, with the aim of relieving pain, reducing inflammation and improving the function of the joints, spine and muscles. The most common reasons for coming are back and neck pain, knee or shoulder pain, sciatica, a herniated disc and cervical syndrome, as well as recovery after injuries and operations.
Therapy is also used for chronic rheumatic conditions such as osteoarthritis, spondylosis and rheumatoid arthritis, where the aim is to relieve pain and preserve mobility. A distinct part of physical medicine at Miren Medic is magnetic therapy for urinary incontinence, carried out on a special chair. If you are troubled by knee pain, our guide knee pain: causes and when to see a doctor explains the most common causes and when an examination is needed.
Physical therapy is usually combined with exercise and changes to everyday habits, such as your posture when working at a computer, the way you lift loads and regular movement. The aim is to ease the complaints and reduce the likelihood of them coming back.
Physical therapy methods at Miren Medic
Each treatment plan is put together individually, and the following methods are used at the polyclinic:
- TECAR therapy: electromagnetic energy acts in the deeper layers of tissue and produces a feeling of warmth; it is used to improve blood flow and relieve pain in injuries and inflammation. One session lasts up to 30 minutes.
- MAGREX magnetic therapy: a magnetic field is used for orthopedic and neurological conditions, on its own or combined with TECAR therapy.
- Kinesitherapy and massage: supervised exercise and targeted massage are part of the five-session and ten-session packages, together with TECAR therapy.
- Urinary incontinence chair: a non-invasive treatment in a seated position, in which a magnetic field acts on the pelvic floor muscles.
- Home exercise program: exercises to do on your own that continue the therapy after the sessions have ended.
For patients who find it hard to come in, physical therapy can be part of home medical care, with exercises and treatments adapted to their mobility.
What therapy at Miren Medic is like
Before therapy begins, it is important to know the cause of the pain. The doctors listed on this page are Dr Nikola Pješčić, a specialist in orthopedic surgery and traumatology, and Dr Marko Vorkapić, a specialist in internal medicine and subspecialist in rheumatology. For injuries and pain in the joints and spine, a consultation with an orthopedist or a rheumatologist helps establish the source of the problem and which kind of therapy makes sense.
For your first visit, bring any findings you already have, for example an X-ray, an MRI scan, an ultrasound or a discharge letter after surgery. Based on these and the examination, it is agreed which methods will be used, how many sessions are planned and how often. Therapy can be done as a single session or as a package of five or ten visits, and progress is followed and the plan adjusted where needed. Home exercises continue what was done at the practice, so it is important to do them regularly and as instructed. If the pain gets worse during or after therapy, or an exercise causes pain, mention it before your next session so that the plan can be adjusted.
Preparation and when to seek emergency help
Come to therapy in comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being treated. When booking, be sure to mention if you have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, metal implants in the treatment area, if you are pregnant, or if you have an active infection, a fever or a malignant disease, because some methods are not suitable in those cases.
Physical therapy is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 194 or go to an emergency department if:
- back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control or numbness in the groin area
- a leg or arm suddenly becomes weak
- after an injury you cannot put weight on your leg, or a joint is deformed or swelling quickly
- a joint suddenly becomes swollen, red and warm, especially with a fever
