Rehabilitation for Pain

Pain caused by musculoskeletal disorders and pain caused by damage to the nervous system may have different symptoms and are often not resolved, even with drug treatment.
In rehabilitation pain treatment, pain is controlled by alleviating inflammation and muscle stiffness through various physical therapy techniques such as heat therapy, cold therapy, laser therapy, phototherapy, electrotherapy, and ultrasound therapy, as well as muscle reeducation and restoring lost physical functions.

Treatments

Electromyography (EMG)

Electromyography is a test that analyzes electrical signals generated from nerves and muscles using a machine to check for abnormalities in peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, and muscles.

Electromyography has a nerve conduction test to check for peripheral nerve damage by applying electrical stimulation to the skin along the pathways of motor and sensory nerves and a test to check for muscle damage using needles. Recently, evoked potential testing, which tests the peripheral nerves to the central nerves through somatosensory, motor, hearing, and vision, is performed to determine whether there is damage to the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Inspections for EMG

Coldness, numbness, dullness in hands and feet
Tremors or twitching of hands and feet
Posterior neck and back pain
Muscle weakness or paralysis
Diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system
Muscle diseases

EMG Preparation & Precautions

Prepare so the skin temperature in the test area is not too cold.
If you have foreign substances such as lotion or cream on your skin, the test will take longer, so it is best to come without them.
If you are taking medications that may cause bleeding, such as thrombolytics (drugs that dissolve blood clots), or if you have hemophilia, which tends to bleed, you must inform us before the test.
Even if you have a cardiac pacemaker sensitive to electrical stimulation, you must inform the patient before the test. Pregnant women in the early stages must also inform the patient before the test.
During needle electromyography, a needle is inserted into the muscle, so temporary pain, swelling, or bleeding may occur at the insertion site.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography

Musculoskeletal ultrasound examination allows for a detailed assessment of the pathological conditions of the joints and surrounding ligaments in the upper and lower extremities, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip joint, knee, ankle, and foot. It is also a useful test for diagnosing masses in body parts or muscle tears.

Inflammation of the joints, damage to the surrounding ligaments, and inflammation or degenerative changes of tendons can be accurately diagnosed through a musculoskeletal ultrasound examination. This examination is particularly useful as it allows for joint movement during the assessment, enabling the diagnosis of abnormalities that are only visible in specific positions.

In addition, a musculoskeletal ultrasonogram can be performed in real-time during injection treatment, making it an effective technique for accurately observing and treating damaged or inflamed areas.
