Pain-free medicine. There is such a thing, it is physiotherapy. On September 8, these specialists celebrate their professional holiday. Physiotherapy is indeed the most pleasant, painless and ancient branch of medicine. People began to be treated with natural baths, mud, herbal compresses, cans, massages since prehistoric times.
In the ancient Indian Ayur Veda, methods of therapeutic massage and gymnastics are described in detail, in the work “Nature is a doctor of diseases” Hippocrates spoke about the usefulness of solar, cold and steam baths. And the Romans glorified the terms of Nero with the words “In balneis salus” – “Healing in the baths,” even gladiators were restored in them. Electrical procedures began with the application of stingrays, light fish in 31 AD. The Chinese used cauterization, acupuncture, Europeans dousing, mineral waters, salt mines, we used koumiss treatment and charging of aikune nomads. So modern physiotherapy has a solid background.
Today it includes dozens of various methods – electrotherapy, light therapy, ultrasound therapy, mechanotherapy, heat therapy, water therapy, shock wave therapy, wakumo therapy, aeron therapy.
– Physiotherapy is an auxiliary method of treatment, not the main one, but you should not belittle its capabilities, – said the head of the department of physiotherapy and rehabilitation of the National Hospital, Candidate of Medical Sciences Raikhan Doschanova, – There are doubters who sometimes ask what is the point of physiotherapy, but then after our procedures, when their pain passes or their back let’s go, they no longer say so. Without physiotherapists, patients could not fully recover and undergo rehabilitation, relapses would be possible. In our hospital, this department is one of the most beloved in patients, they are already registered with us from the emergency room during hospitalization. There is almost no turnover here, doctors and nurses have been working for decades. I associate this with stability, calmness, silence, commitment to the profession and a well-coordinated team, because a person remains where he is comfortable.
