The integrated application of neuromodulation and physical therapy can offer synergistic benefits for people undergoing rehabilitation or seeking to improve specific aspects of their health.

Some key benefits are:

Neuroplasticity: Ability of the brain to reorganize itself. The integration of neuromodulation techniques into physical therapy improves brain adaptability and promotes motor control learning after injuries or neurological conditions.

Improvement of motor function: Neuromodulation techniques within physical therapy can help to enhance the expected results in the treatment process, favoring the improvement of the factors involved in optimal motor function such as muscle strength, flexibility, coordination and motor control.

Pain management: Physiotherapy approaches pain from different techniques and tools, one of them is through percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS), which seeks to modulate the nervous system by promoting a pain inhibitory process. Neuromodulation, through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), has been explored for its possible cognitive enhancement effects. Combining cognitive training exercises within physical therapy sessions can lead to improved cognitive function, especially in cases of neurological conditions.

Faster recovery: By simultaneously addressing both neural and physical aspects, individuals may experience faster improvements in functional abilities.

Individualized treatment plans: The combination can be tailored to the unique needs and challenges of each patient, optimizing the rehabilitation process.

Long-term benefits: The holistic approach of combining neuromodulation and physical therapy can contribute to long-term benefits, not only in terms of immediate functional improvements, but also in the maintenance and continuous improvement of these gains over time.

Physio Vallarta offers 3 types of Neuromodulation

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique used to modify the activity of the cerebral cortex painlessly. The electrical current flowing in the coil generates a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the coil which induces an electrical current in the brain.

This method is used to modulate neural circuits and has shown potential in a variety of applications, including cognitive enhancement, pain management and treatment of certain neurological and psychiatric conditions.
It can potentiate or inhibit neural activity.

Research suggests that it may have potential benefits in improving cognitive function, treating depression and assisting in motor rehabilitation after certain injuries.

Candidates for TMS:

Depression and mood disorders: Individuals with treatment-resistant depression or certain mood disorders.

Cognitive enhancement: Those seeking to improve their cognitive performance may be candidates for TMS. Research is ongoing in this area to explore potential benefits in memory, attention and other cognitive functions.

Neurological disorders: Patients with certain neurological conditions, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, may be considered for TMS as part of rehabilitation efforts. It is essential to tailor treatment to the specific needs and challenges of each individual.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF)

CEMP involves the use of electromagnetic fields to send pulsing waves of energy to the tissues of the body. These electromagnetic fields are typically applied to specific areas of the body, and the pulsing nature is believed to have several potential health benefits.

Key points about EMF:

Cellular effects: it is thought to influence cellular activity by inducing electrical changes at the cellular level. This may affect cellular metabolism, increase oxygenation and promote overall cellular health.

Pain management: Has been studied for its possible analgesic effects. It may help reduce pain and inflammation, being considered for people with chronic pain conditions.

Bone healing and fracture recovery: Some studies suggest that it may aid in bone healing and fracture recovery. It is believed to stimulate bone cells and enhance natural bone healing processes.

Circulation and Blood Flow: Pulsed electromagnetic fields impact blood circulation, potentially improving blood flow.

Electroneuromodulation

This approach involves applying controlled electrical currents to specific nerves or neural structures to influence their activity.

Electroneuromodulation has several potential applications and benefits:

Pain Management: percutaneous electrical neurostimulation, can help relieve pain by interrupting pain signals and promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

Muscle Rehabilitation: It can be applied to stimulate muscles in people with injuries, muscle weakness or conditions that affect motor function. This helps maintain or improve muscle strength and prevent atrophy.

Neuropathic Conditions: Conditions characterized by abnormal nerve function, such as peripheral neuropathy, can benefit from electro neuromodulation.
