Medication As such, a correct diagnosis and assessment of the patient are essential to initiate a pharmacological treatment appropriate to the patient's characteristics and pain. Currently, to treat pain, there is a wide variety of non-opioid analgesics, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, weak opioids (e.g. Tramadol, Codeine) and, lastly, potent opioids, such as Oxycodone, Fentanyl and Morphine. In addition, there are a number of drugs called Co-analgesics as anticonvulsants and antidepressants that help us to complete this treatment, according to the pain and the patient. SERVICES

Ecoguided invasive techniques Ecoguided invasive techniques consist of injecting a drug, usually local corticoid/anesthesia, directly into the body area affected by pain and/or inflammation. Ultrasound applied to the joint/ periarticular injection allows a more accurate and effective technique. In addition to a detailed assessment of the joint pathology, the use of real-time imaging allows an exact positioning of the needle, reducing the possibility of injury to neighboring structures such as tendons, ligaments, or vessels.

Manual Medicine Manual Medicine is often used to treat acute and chronic spinal pain or limited joint movements ("blockages"). The aim of Manual Medicine is to restore harmony in the movement of the entire spine by "unlocking" individual vertebral segments or joints (shoulder, elbow, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot). Through targeted techniques of Mobilization/Manipulation/Neuro-Muscular Techniques, it is possible to treat functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, as well as tissue changes, thus contributing to a sustainable pain relief. In this way, Manual Medicine allows not only a differentiated diagnosis, but also a gentle therapy of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. This combination makes Manual Medicine an efficient and pleasant treatment method for the patient. Indications: - Acute or chronic pain/Limitation of movement in the spine - Pain/Limitation of movement in the peripheral joints (e.g. hip, shoulder, elbow, hand, ankle). Services

A Esclerose Múltipla (EM) trata-se de uma doença neurológica crónica, mais comum no adulto jovem, e que surge habitualmente na terceira década de vida, com o dobro da frequência no sexo feminino. Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease, more common in young adults, which usually appears in the third decade of life, with twice the frequency in women. Most cases are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, although it can affect people between the ages of 2 and 75. Although it is not a fatal disease, it is very disabling, significantly affecting all aspects of patients' lives. This disease affects the central nervous system. The nerve fibers of cells in the nervous system are lined with a sheath called myelin, which is essential for stimuli to be properly propagated. In multiple sclerosis myelin is destroyed, thus preventing proper communication between the brain and the body. On the other hand, the inflammatory process that occurs in this disease damages the nerve cells themselves, causing permanent loss of several functions, depending on the affected territories. The exact cause of this disease is not known, but it is admitted that several factors of a genetic, immunological, viral, bacterial, environmental nature (diet, industrial toxins present in the soil or water), reduced levels of vitamin D, allergies, physical trauma, etc. Symptoms The first symptoms may be of a sensitive nature, such as loss of sensation or tingling that start at one end and extend to the entire limb over 3 or 4 days. These symptoms can last for 1 to 2 weeks and then gradually disappear. MS can initially manifest itself in other ways, with blurred vision, double vision, motor deficits, tremors, difficulty in walking, balance changes, speech difficulties, memory and concentration problems, fatigue, or even paralysis and complete loss of vision. The symptoms will always be dependent on the areas of the nervous system where the loss of myelin occurs and the consequent inability to transmit nerve stimuli. These symptoms can progress in several ways, as described above, appearing and disappearing or progressing gradually. The evolution to complete paralysis is rare, although many patients will need assistance in walking, given the presence of fatigue, weakness and imbalance. Treatment Multiple sclerosis has no cure and the available drugs can only "modify" or delay its evolution, reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks, reduce the accumulation of damaged areas in the nervous system and help patients deal with symptoms. The definition of the best treatment for each case will always depend on a medical evaluation. The most commonly used groups of drugs include corticosteroids, which help to fight inflammation and interferons, which reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis outbreaks, while also reducing their severity and the damage caused by them. In the most severe forms, medicines of another nature, such as cytostatics, can be used. All of these treatments can be complemented with other types of support, defined according to the difficulties experienced by each patient.

Uma entorse de tornozelo é uma lesão ligamentar (dos ligamentos) que ocorre, habitualmente, após uma torção no tornozelo. Os ligamentos do tornozelo são estruturas elásticas que permitem manter a articulação na sua posição correta. Ankle Ankle Sprain An ankle sprain is a ligament injury (of the ligaments) that usually occurs after a sprained ankle. Ankle ligaments are elastic structures that allow the joint to be kept in its correct position. The ligaments, which constitute the lateral stabilizers of the ankle, are mainly responsible for the stability of the joint, namely, in movements at the ends of the joint amplitudes. Under normal conditions, ligaments, as elastic structures that they are, stretch (stretch) to their limit, then return to their initial position. Sprain occurs when the ligament is forced beyond its normal capacity. Examples of abnormal movements are twisting of the foot (twisting the foot), rotations and rolling of the foot. This movement can cause the ligaments to stretch (distend or stretch beyond normal, creating problems in their function) or even, in the most severe cases, to rupture (tear). In most sprains, foot pain, which can be mild to very intense, is immediately felt at the site of the sprain. Often, the ankle starts to “swell” (edema) immediately and local ecchymosis (black ankle) and some joint effusion (fluid in the ankle) may appear. The ankle area is usually sensitive to touch and the pain increases with movement. In more severe sprains, you can hear and / or feel something “tearing” along with a click. The pain is immediate and strong after the sprain, you will not be able to walk or even exert force on the foot (put your foot on the floor or “step on”). Thus, the greater the pain and the edema (swelling), the more severe the injury and consequently the longer the rehabilitation phase. The extent of the edema (swelling) and the intensity of the pain in the foot vary in proportion to the severity of the sprain. The recovery time to heal a sprain can range from weeks to months and depends on the severity of the injury and the treatment instituted. See more information on treatment. In sports that require sudden movements and extremes of amplitude (football, futsal, basketball, handball, athletics, etc.), sprains can occur more easily. However, sprains can also occur accidentally in day-to-day life, when the person places “badly on the ground”, etc. The use of inappropriate footwear, such as high heels, very wide shoes, among others, can be a risk factor for the occurrence of sprains. Imbalances are one of the risk factors for ankle sprain. Those who have “weak muscles” and exercise or do physical activity without prior adaptation training are more likely to develop sprains.

A lesão medular consiste, basicamente, num dano ao nível da espinal-medula, que consequentemente dará origem a uma paraplegia, ou a uma tetraplegia levando o sujeito a uma perda de controlo do corpo, bem como a uma perda da sensibilidade abaixo do nível onde ocorreu a lesão Spinal cord injury The spinal cord injury basically consists of damage at the level of the spinal cord, which consequently will give rise to paraplegia, or to a quadriplegia leading the subject to a loss of body control, as well as a loss of sensation below the level where the injury occurred, where the ability to walk again becomes the main objective of the individual in the process of rehabilitation This damage may be due to trauma, disease or birth defect, causing temporary or permanent paralysis of the muscles of the limbs and the autonomic nervous system, as well as changes in sensitivity depending on the location and extent of the injury. Spinal cord injury has dramatic effects on the lives of affected people and their families. It conditions important changes in the way of living and carrying out day-to-day tasks, with an impact not only on the individual but also on the people who are closest to him, namely the family. Assimilating this new situation is neither easy nor fast. We are a family owned and operated business. A few years ago, an individual who suffered a spinal cord injury had reduced survival. Currently, due to the evolution of medical knowledge and technological progress, more and more people with spinal cord injuries have a life expectancy close to that of the rest of the population. Although there is still a risk of developing complications, it is possible to prevent or treat them. We are a family owned and operated business.
