Referral to the physiotherapy room. Alphabetical index

In this material:

The effectiveness of physiotherapy when skillfully combined with medication and other types of treatment has been proven by many scientists and practicing medical professionals. A specialist physiotherapist is not a deceiver or a fraudster, and, unlike most practitioners of traditional and alternative medicine specialists, his procedures truly provide effective assistance to the human body. Among other things, a physiotherapist compares favorably with specialists in traditional and alternative means of treatment by having a higher medical education and experience in medical institutions.

Description of the project and its advantages

A business plan for a physiotherapy office includes a description of the main stages of organizing a business, requirements for the selected premises, purchased equipment and hired personnel, as well as recommendations for the effective implementation of advertising and marketing activities and financial analytics of the business project.

The advantages of running a business based on providing physiotherapeutic assistance to the population are due to the demand for private physiotherapy offices in many cities and regions of the country. Such private offices compare favorably with physiotherapy departments that are part of local medical institutions, clinics and hospitals, the quality of the treatment provided, the level of service and qualifications of medical specialists, as well as the availability of modern professional medical equipment.

At the same time, in practice, there are often cases of opening private physiotherapy departments as full-fledged small clinics, providing, in contrast to a physiotherapy office, wide range procedures and services, but in this case there is a need to prepare additional documents and rent premises large area, formation of a large staff of qualified employees. As a result, there is a high level of initial capital investments, operating expenses, long payback periods and slow movement towards the project’s break-even point. A profitable option is the opening of a physiotherapy office (PTK).

What services does the physiotherapy office provide?

This medical field includes the following industries and services:

diadynamic therapy, based on treatment using directed electric current;
laser therapy, in which the therapeutic effect is exerted by directed beams of light laser energy;
electromyostimulation, which affects muscles and nerve endings to return them to working condition;
amplipulse therapy, which is similar in principle to the effect of diadynamic therapy, affecting the body with the help of low-frequency currents;
heat therapy, which includes a variety of methods and techniques for the therapeutic effects of heat on the human body;
micropolarization, which is similar in principle to electrical myostimulation, but has a direct effect on the human central nervous system using electrical impulses;
cryotherapy, in which the body is exposed to cold rather than heat, as is the case with heat therapy;
halotherapy, which involves injecting purified sodium chloride into the lungs in a specially equipped room;
iontophoresis and phonophoresis, which are galvanic and ultrasonic effects on a drug applied to human body for more effective and deep penetration remedy in fabric.

In addition to the industries mentioned, physiotherapy traditionally includes water and mud therapy procedures, as well as physical therapy and wellness massages.

Business organization

Registration, package of documents

To open a private office and provide physiotherapeutic services to the population, it is mandatory to go through the state registration procedure, registering as legal entity or individual entrepreneur, and also be puzzled by registration with the tax authority.

At the start of a business project you will need the following documents:

certificate of state registration as a legal entity or registration of a business in the form of an individual entrepreneur;
documents related to the rental of premises for a private physiotherapy room;
certificates of fire safety of the premises, as well as its compliance with sanitary and epidemiological standards and requirements, obtained from the relevant authorities;
evidence of payment of the fee for obtaining a license to carry out medical activities;
list of services provided by the organization;
proof of registration with the local tax authority.

Choosing a business format

The option of carrying out activities to provide physiotherapeutic services to the population in the form of a private office, rather than a full-fledged physiotherapy clinic, is obviously popular, due to the significant savings in initial investment and the absence of the need for complex selection and rental procedures large room, formation of a large staff, state registration and tax deductions.

Search for premises

A spacious, bright room is suitable, the area of which will directly depend on the range of physiotherapeutic services provided, the number of rooms and the necessary medical equipment for treatment and diagnosis. The premises must be rented; attention should be paid to residential areas, since the basis in this case is taken simultaneously by two factors: increased human traffic and the convenience of the location of the office for potential clients.

A special option for opening a private physiotherapy office is a partnership with a medical institution or health resort, subject to the opening of a physiotherapy room in a provided separate room on the territory of a hospital or clinic. Thus, not only time and money are saved on searching and renting premises, but also the first clients appear.

Purchase of equipment

Depending on the specific types of physical therapy services provided and the number of clients served at the same time, certain medical equipment will be needed, as well as modern hospital furniture. This item of initial investment does not imply the opportunity to save money and purchase used equipment and furniture, since the general population makes a choice in favor of private medical offices and institutions, largely due to the quality and high cost medical equipment, as well as the health services provided.

Staff

A small private physical therapy practice will require several qualified physical therapists. medical education and experience in the chosen field of treatment services, as well as a receptionist who will take calls. Management functions are carried out directly by the entrepreneur, while it is recommended to entrust accounting to specialist outsourcers, and contact third-party representatives for legal services as needed. You will also need an advertising and marketing department that will take care of attracting and retaining a stable flow of customers.

Advertising of physiotherapy services

As usual, pay attention to advertising in local print media mass media, on thematic forums and in popular in social networks, also by posting advertisements and distributing leaflets in high-traffic areas. Collaborate with doctors from local medical institutions and clinics who will recommend your physical therapy office to patients if necessary. Traditional word of mouth will do most of the marketing work for you.

Financial indicators of the project: payback and profitability

Start-up investments are formed through the acquisition of the necessary equipment, as well as procedures related to state registration of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur and the preparation of related documents. The amount of current office expenses is directly affected by employee salaries, rent for office space, as well as tax payments, routine repairs and depreciation of equipment, and replenishment of consumables.

On average, the starting investment in a business project is about 500 thousand rubles, and current monthly expenses range from 150 to 200 thousand rubles. With such indicators, payback will occur within the first year of operation of the office, and the profitability of the project will exceed 30%.

At the present transitional stage of development medical science and practical healthcare, there is a widespread use of physical factors in medical and sanatorium-resort institutions, the introduction the latest methods physical diagnostics, which involves a significant contingent of medical workers and engineers in the field of servicing physiotherapeutic equipment.

Widespread computerization further increases this circle.

Therefore, the mastery and implementation by medical workers of the basic rules of organization and safety precautions when conducting physiotherapy procedures is the key to long work equipment and high-quality procedures.

The design, operation and safety precautions of physiotherapy departments (offices) are regulated by the state standard OST 42-21-16-86, approved by the Ministry Health of the USSR by order No. 1453 of November 4, 1986, which is still in effect today. This standard should be in every physiotherapy department, regardless of its size. Order No. 1440 of December 21, 1984 approved the regulations on the physiotherapy clinic and hospital, the coefficients of procedures performed by nurses in physiotherapy rooms.

The positions of physiotherapists and nurses are determined by order of the USSR Ministry of Health No. 999 of October 11, 1982, No. 600 of June 6, 1979 and No. 900 of September 26, 1978. The position of nurses is established at the rate of 15,000 conventional procedural units per year for one unit. Older nurse allocated if there are 4 nursing positions. For every 2 positions of a nurse, one position of a nurse is established.

By order of the Ministry of Health of the USSR No. 1000 dated September 23, 1981, the working day of a doctor and nurse of the medical technical department is 6.5 hours (38.5 hours per week). Physiotherapist appointment rate is 5 people per hour.

Order of the Ministry of Health of the USSR No. 1440 of 1984 defined one conventional physiotherapeutic unit as work prepared and completed in 8 minutes. To obtain conventional units at a large time investment, it is divided by 8. A PTO nurse per shift must perform work in 50 (15,000 per year) procedural conventional units.

Order of the Ministry of Health of the USSR No. 817 dated 06/18/87 "On the norms of the load of massage nurses" for 1 conventional unit is taken the time of 10 minutes spent on directly conducting massage procedure. The working day is 6.5 hours, during which the nurse must perform 30 conventional massage units.

Currently, all orders regarding staffing levels, standards and workloads are advisory in nature and should be considered taking into account the opinion of the head of the medical institution.

Responsibilities of a nurse

The responsibilities of a nurse in a physical therapy room are determined job description, approved by the head of the institution on the basis of order of the USSR Ministry of Health No. 1440. The nurse is obliged to monitor the order and sanitary condition in the office, the operation of physiotherapeutic equipment, water supply, heating, ventilation. She prescribes the necessary medications and dressings semi-frequently.

The nurse is responsible for the safety of the equipment and equipment of the office, conducts the necessary medical documentation. After work, she turns on and off the switches that supply the network of physiotherapy equipment, water supply and lighting. The nurse introduces patients to the rules for conducting physiotherapeutic procedures and the work schedule of the office, carries out procedures as prescribed by the doctor, warns patients about the sensations during physical influences, monitors the patient’s condition during the procedure, and prescribes patients for a repeat procedure. In all complex and unclear cases, inform the doctor.

As a rule, the nurse has to keep the following documentation: 1) a log of admission of primary and repeat patients, which notes the date, the patient’s name, medical history number, age, diagnosis, the name of the referring doctor and where the patient was referred from, the prescribed treatment for physical factors; 2) a daily work diary, in which procedures and conventional procedural units are noted; 3) calendar reports on the work done by type of treatment (electrophoresis, UHF therapy, etc.); 4) equipment logbook indicating the passport number, manufacturer, release date, date of receipt of the device; 5) a journal for recording routine and preventive repairs of equipment, in which the following columns should be noted: a) date, b) name of the device and manufacturer’s passport, c) note of the noticed defect, d) signature of the nurse, e) what was done, what parts were replaced , what condition the device is in, permission to operate, f) the signature of the specialist who carried out the repairs, g) the signature of the head of the department confirming the work performed.

By order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 318 dated November 17, 1995, nurses of the medical technical service are required to undergo training in their specialty and receive a certificate state standard, which is valid on the territory of Russia and is confirmed every 5 years with mandatory retraining within this period. The qualification characteristics of specialists with secondary medical and pharmaceutical education are given in the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 249 dated August 19, 1997.

The qualifications of nurses are determined by 3 categories: second, first, highest with a corresponding bonus to wages. To be certified for the second category, a nurse must have 3 years of work experience, the first - 5 years, the highest - 8 years and provide documents to the certification commission: 1) application; 2) a typewritten certification sheet certified by the head of the institution and sealed; 3) a work report for the first certification for 1 year, for subsequent certification for 3 years; 4) a copy of the institution’s payment order when agreeing with the certification commission on payment for certification. Certifying commission is obliged to review the documents within 3 months from the date of receipt.

By order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 90 dated March 14, 1996, medical personnel of the medical technical service must undergo a mandatory medical examination upon entry to work and then periodically - at least once every 12 months. The inspection is registered in a special medical card, where a conclusion will be given on admission to work in the technical technical service.

Nurses working in physiotherapy rooms enjoy benefits according to the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 377 of October 15, 1999, which determines the remuneration of healthcare workers. Based on this document, a 15% salary increase is received by nurses who perform at least 10 procedures during the day on UHF therapy devices of any power, as well as medical staff working in radon, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen carbon and ozokerite-mud-peat treatment rooms. and for heating, transporting dirt, preparing artificial hydrogen sulfide water.

By order of the Ministry of Health of the USSR No. 06-14/7-14 dated February 17, 1988 “On the free distribution of milk and other equivalent food products to workers and employees engaged in work with hazardous working conditions,” workers of radon laboratories have the right to free lunches and retirement upon reaching 50 years of age (women - 45 years), with at least 20 years of work experience (women - 15 years), including 10 years (women - 7.5 years) in contact with occupational hazards. Persons under 18 years of age are not allowed to work in hazardous conditions. Workers associated with hazardous working conditions are provided with additional leave to the main one (Article 68 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), according to which nurses have the right to 12, and workers of radon laboratories - 24 working days.

By decision of the administration, bonuses may be introduced to the official salary: I) for the duration of continuous work for the first 3 years - 20%, for the next 2 years - 10% of the basic salary, but not more than 30%; 2) for the application of scientific achievements and advanced labor methods in work, high achievements in work, performance of particularly important or urgent work (for the period of their implementation), as well as tension in work. All labor disputes are resolved in the trade union organization and then in court.

Personnel of medical institutions operating in the compulsory health insurance system (CHI) need to familiarize themselves with the Law of the Russian Federation “On medical insurance of citizens of the RSFSR” dated June 28, 1991; Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 41 of January 23, 1992 “On measures to implement the law”; "Fundamentals of legislation Russian Federation on the protection of citizens' health" dated July 22, 1993 No. 5487-1; standard rules of compulsory health insurance; register medical services; tariffs for medical services in the system;

By the Law of the Russian Federation “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” No. 2-FZ of January 9, 1996, the administration of a medical institution, together with the insurance company, must conduct classes with medical personnel on the directive documents of the compulsory medical insurance system and instructions on working with medical documentation.

Organization of a physiotherapy room

The physiotherapy room (department) is organized on the above-ground floors of the medical institution. The basement can be used for mud storage, boiler room, compressor room. The air temperature in the rooms is maintained within +20 °C with humidity up to 70%. Therefore, all offices must have forced supply and exhaust ventilation. Pipes, water heating radiators and all metal objects connected to the ground must be covered with protective grilles and other devices that would prevent even accidental contact of the patient with them. For this purpose, electrical fittings (panels, sockets, switches, etc.) are covered with insulating, non-conducting material.

To connect devices, the electric light therapy room is equipped with starting panels “PNV-30” and “PV-30” at a height of 1.6 m, which have a fuse, a switch, terminals for connecting stationary devices, a white terminal for grounding, 1-2 sockets for portable devices. The distance from the socket to the device should not exceed 2 m.

The switchboards are connected to the cabinet's main 100 A switchboard, which has a common switch, voltmeter, E-27 fuses or circuit breakers. For most offices, a cabin system for placing equipment is acceptable. In addition to the apparatus, a wooden couch, a chair, and a hanger are installed in the cabin, which is 2 m high and long and 1.6 m wide. The office outside the cubicles houses the nurse's desk, which contains log books, procedure charts, and an electric procedure clock.

In dental institutions, taking into account the specifics of procedures in the oral cavity, in the physiotherapy room, equipment can be placed on the walls or bedside tables, without dividing into booths, since constant visual monitoring of the patient during the procedure is required. The estimated area per device under such conditions is 3-4 m2.

When working with laser systems, the main source of danger, in addition to high (3-5 kV) and low voltage (200 V) electric current, is laser radiation(direct, reflected and diffuse). The best way to organize laser therapy is a separate room with an area of 20-25 m2, the ceiling and walls of which are painted with matte blue-green paint that absorbs red light. On the outside of the office door there is a sign “Caution! Laser radiation!

In difficult circumstances, you can allocate a booth in the light therapy room. The office should not have devices with a shiny reflective surface. The lighting should be bright (300-500-1000 lux), which causes constriction of the pupils and reduces the likelihood of damage to the retina due to accidental exposure to scattered-reflected laser light. A laser hazard sign with the inscription “Caution! Don't look along the beam." During the procedure, the nurse (doctor) wears sunglasses “ZN62-OZh”, and the patient wears glasses with blue-green lenses (“SZS-18”, “SZS-22”), which are included with the device.

When aiming the beam at the site of the disease, you should not look towards or along the laser beam, since with unprotected eyes there is a danger of damage to the retina by direct or reflected light. It is prohibited to bring shiny objects (rings, watches, mirrors, etc.) into the area affected by the beam, which cause reflection of light and increase the possibility of it getting into the beam. ocular structures. To protect the skin of service personnel, a regular long-sleeved medical gown is sufficient.

Laser devices are operated in intermittent mode (50-60 minutes of operation, 30 minutes break). The HeNe laser tube should be kept on at all times to prolong its service life. Ministry of Labor and social protection The Russian Federation, by resolution of June 8, 1992, No. 17, section 2, paragraph 24, determined for personnel (doctors, nurses) working with laser systems of any class a 15% increase in official salary.

Intracavitary procedures (rectal, urological, bronchopulmonary, vascular, etc.) are carried out in treatment rooms equipped in accordance with safety requirements.

Water and mud rooms are separated into a block connected by closed passages to the physiotherapy department. The air temperature in them is maintained at 25 ° C with a humidity of no more than 75%. The sloping floor is covered with wooden grating or rubber mats. All electrical wiring and starting devices are hermetically sealed to prevent moisture ingress.

It is better to place cylinders with compressed gases (air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) in utility rooms that exclude the influence of direct sun rays, at a distance of 1 m from water heating radiators and 10 m from open fire. The cylinders are protected from falls and secured to the wall with a metal bracket. Oxygen cylinders, due to their explosion hazard, are placed in special storage facilities, where impacts and oil and oily rags from entering oxygen-carrying parts are prevented. All cylinders can be operated with a special gear valve.

The preparation of a concentrated radon solution is carried out in special laboratories with appropriate equipment. Medical personnel working with radon are provided with special clothing and are required to follow all safety regulations. Ventilation in the office should work throughout the day.

The paraffin-ozokerite treatment room is equipped with a room with a fume hood for preparing the coolant mass. Heating of paraffin (ozokerite) is carried out in special paraffin heaters or a water bath, which is boiled on a closed electric stove in a fume hood. Since these substances are easily flammable, the cabinet table must be covered with fire-resistant material and the cabinet must be equipped with a fire extinguisher. Due to the increased fire hazard, open fires, open electric stoves and electric boilers should not be used in the office.

Special rooms are equipped for inhalation and electromud therapy, since these procedures lead to an increase in air humidity. This can negatively affect electrical wiring and devices in ordinary offices where there is no hermetically sealed insulation. In physiotherapy rooms, equipment is arranged according to a diagram approved by the head of the department so that it and the trigger panels are easily accessible. All changes can be made only with appropriate permission. Passports of devices in operation must be kept by the head nurse of the department.

One stationary or two portable devices can be installed in each cabin, provided they are used alternately. To prevent accidental contact of the patient with the device, it is installed at the maximum distance from the couch or blocked with a shield made of non-conductive material. Portable devices are connected to the network through the socket of the starting panel, and stationary ones only to the terminals of the panel.

All devices with electrical safety class 01 and 1 are subject to mandatory grounding to the building circuit. Do not use heating and water pipes for grounding. Each device is connected to the ground terminal of the starting panel with a separate wire. Grounding reliability must be checked once every 1-2 months.

Devices made according to electrical safety class II are not grounded, and the insulation efficiency is checked monthly. Stationary high-quality devices are operated in separate rooms or grounded shielded cabins made of fabric with microwire V-1, article 4381, or better metallized fabric of the “Voskhod” type. Portable devices can be used in a general electrotherapy room without shielding, placing them at a distance of 3 m from the nurse’s desk, as well as at a distance from other devices, since the resulting electromagnetic field can create interference and distortion of measuring instruments in the patient circuit.

At present, in order to completely eliminate the impact electromagnetic waves Workwear made of metallized fabric of the “Bekar” type (robes, jackets, etc.) is produced for the staff of physiotherapy rooms.

Daily monitoring of the condition of the equipment is carried out by a nurse before starting work shift. If a malfunction is detected, the device is switched off and an entry is made in the “Routine and preventive maintenance of equipment” log. Once a week, a preventive inspection of the equipment is carried out by a physical technician, which is recorded in the journal.

Every year, in special institutions, a control check of equipment measuring instruments should be carried out, which will ensure the correct dosage of physiotherapeutic procedures. The serviceability of the equipment is certified in the log by the personal signature of the technician who performed the preventive inspection or repair, and the signature of the head of the department, confirming the work performed. After a major overhaul, the workshop makes a record in the passport that the electrical wiring diagram of the device complies with the approved medical and technical standard, which is certified by the technician servicing the department.

For normal and long-term operation, it is necessary to systematically care for the equipment. Therefore, every day at the beginning and end of the working day, the nurse removes dust from the switched off devices with a slightly damp cloth.

Dust from internal parts The device is removed with a vacuum cleaner by a technician during routine inspections. To reduce dust, when not in use, devices are covered with sheets or special covers.

To prevent the effects of dampness, physiotherapy rooms are located in a dry, bright, ventilated room, where it is advisable to place the equipment away from windows. When bringing the device in from a frosty street, keep it inoperative at room temperature for 24 hours. This time is usually indicated in the technical instructions for the device.

It is necessary to protect the devices from impacts and shocks. Therefore, it is best to move them in wheelchairs with good shock absorption. To avoid overheating, the devices must be operated intermittently, which will extend their service life.

A special hanger is equipped for the wires, where they hang along their entire length, which eliminates kinks and extends their service life. Twisting and bending wires during storage leads to rapid damage not only to the insulation, but also to the wire itself. The metal plates of the electrodes are stacked and periodically remove lead oxide from the surface with sandpaper. The plates are straightened on a solid base with a special roller.

Medical personnel who have documents on special training and have undergone safety training, which is carried out annually, are allowed to work in a physiotherapy room (department). An entry about this is made in the journal “Registration of workplace briefing upon hiring and periodic (repeated) briefing.”

Procedures, as a rule, are performed by a nurse (rarely a doctor) only if there is a procedure card with a doctor’s prescription. It is a gross violation to involve nurses in performing procedures on patients. When a new device enters the office, the nurse must undergo instruction in the methods and techniques of its operation. During the procedure, the nurse is required to be in the office and monitor the patient’s well-being, the readings of the device indicators, and, if necessary, make any necessary adjustments.

Patients should not be allowed to sleep or read during the procedure. She must immediately inform the doctor about any malfunctions in the operation of the devices and changes in the well-being of patients. Leaving the office during the procedure is a gross violation of the rules for conducting physiotherapeutic procedures and can lead to extremely undesirable consequences. Offices in which there are no patients or staff must be locked.

At the beginning of the work shift, the nurse checks the serviceability of the equipment, grounding, integrity of the electrodes, and insulation on the wires. Faulty devices, electrodes with cracks, tears, and wires with damaged insulation are excluded from operation. Particular attention is paid to the places of connections, contacts, and soldering.

During the procedure, the electrodes are fixed on the patient’s body so that they cannot move.

Therefore, it is best to bandage them with gauze, elastic, rubber bandage or fix them with an elastic mesh tubular bandage. Electrodes can be applied, changed or adjusted only after turning off the current in the patient circuit. The wires from the electrodes must fit tightly into the mounting sockets to prevent the patient from accidentally breaking the circuit during the procedure.

Before turning on the device, check that all switches are set to zero. It is possible to switch the form and operating mode, output voltage and break the patient circuit only when the voltage, power or intensity knobs are in the zero position. The device is turned on only after the current in the patient’s circuit has dropped to zero.

When working with high-frequency equipment, all the above requirements must be observed with special care. In addition to this, from electromagnetic field remove all metal objects from both the patient and the couch. Medical staff should not be exposed to electromagnetic fields unless necessary.

It is strictly forbidden to troubleshoot, change fuses, switch voltage, or wipe panels on a device connected to the network. To avoid rapid damage to the device, do not leave it under high voltage inoperative.

After the procedure is completed, the device is turned off in the reverse order of turning it on and the electrodes are removed from the patient. At the end of the working day, the nurse turns off the switchboards, distribution board, water supply and electrical network of the office.

Carrying out physiotherapeutic procedures at home, in the dressing room, in the ward requires special attention and thoroughness. To do this, it is better to use portable portable models of the device. First of all, prepare the workplace.

If the floor is stone, then it is covered with a rubber mat measuring at least 1x1 m. The bed is installed away from the pipes of water heating radiators or they are insulated with improvised material. Metal parts of the bed or operating table covered with a mattress, woolen blanket or rubberized fabric and sheets so that they hang on both sides to the floor. Before the procedure, the nurse checks the functionality of the device and accessories. After this, the patient and the device are prepared according to all the rules of the procedure.

Qualified implementation of physiotherapeutic procedures requires clear and proper organization work of the department (office) and workplace. Therefore, in the corridor of each office, information is posted for the information of patients: the office’s opening hours, the time the doctor sees patients, the time of procedures for various groups patients, rules for the patient when receiving procedures.

Where is the best place to buy physiotherapy equipment?

Therapeutic equipment is necessary in medical institutions for effective treatment and prevention of various diseases. The Tech-Med company offers advanced devices and instruments from the world's leading manufacturers and guarantees the most favorable purchasing conditions.

Physiotherapy is today a very popular and popular method of treatment for many diseases. This is due to her high efficiency combined with maximum safety for the patient’s body. Medicinal treatment methods, while effective, tend to have negative side effects on the body. At the same time, physiotherapy in some cases can completely replace other treatment methods or significantly reduce, for example, the need for medicinal drugs. In addition, physiotherapeutic treatment is an integral component rehabilitation programs prescribed in the post-traumatic and postoperative periods. Thus, physiotherapy can act as an independent method of treatment and prevention, or be a component of complex treatment.

Physiotherapeutic treatment allows the use of a wide variety of methods, which are based on the use of natural and artificially created physical influences on body tissue. In particular, heat and cold can be used, electricity, magnetic fields and ultrasound, laser radiation, etc.

Physiotherapy methods

The choice of physiotherapeutic treatment method depends on many factors and is carried out exclusively individually in each case. Firstly, the indications of the underlying disease and the stage of the underlying disease against which this treatment will be carried out are taken into account. Secondly, a complete medical examination patient to determine the general condition of the patient’s body, other chronic diseases and pathologies, the presence of hereditary factors, etc.

Thirdly, the doctor also takes into account other external factors that can influence the course of treatment - age, gender, working and living conditions, climate zone of residence, etc. Thus, despite the prevalence and versatility, and most importantly the safety of physiotherapeutic treatment, this area of clinical medicine has a serious scientific basis and applies individual approach in each individual case.

As for the methods directly used in physiotherapy, their list is quite extensive and includes not only traditional ones (massage and exercise therapy), but also modern ones using the latest technology and equipment. Modern physiotherapy room has a wide offer and we will look at some of the treatments:

Cryotherapy. This method is based on the effect on the patient’s body low temperatures. Liquid nitrogen is used for this. Cryotherapy provides a general activating effect on processes in the body. In particular, it promotes pain relief, stimulates the endocrine and immune system, helps relieve swelling and spasms, helps saturate the blood with active biological components, etc. This method can be used not only to treat a number of diseases, but also to prevent them.
Laser therapy. Today, lasers are widely used in clinical medicine and the areas of this use are very diverse - from physiotherapeutic treatment to surgery. Laser therapy is the effect on tissue of a directed light flux (radiation). In this case, the degree of impact will depend on the type of radiation (red and infrared) and its wavelength. What does this light effect give? Active saturation of cells with light leads to the activation of enzymes responsible for basic biochemical processes at the cellular level. As a result, cells are renewed, normalized and restored their vital functions, natural processes of self-regulation of vital functions and mobilization of the body’s internal reserves are launched. In addition, laser exposure helps improve blood microcirculation, which also has a positive effect on recovery processes in organism.
Magnetotherapy. Magnetic fields- This is another way of influencing the body and its tissues, actively used in physiotherapy. In this case, each tissue cell acts as the final “reception point” of sent electromagnetic signals, which activate all compensatory and adaptive functions of the body at the cellular level, thus including internal recovery reserves. Magnetotherapy is prescribed for the most various diseases. In particular, it provides beneficial effect on cerebral blood supply, promotes oxygen saturation of the myocardium, which in turn helps to improve the general condition of the patient, and also normalizes blood pressure, reduces blood sugar levels, improves immunity, etc.
UV blood irradiation - ultraviolet irradiation blood, also called photohemotherapy or photomodification of blood. This method allows you to influence the blood with a light flux by one-time insertion of a special light-guide catheter into a vein using a needle. Therapeutic effect This method is based on the fact that such direct light exposure helps to activate the antioxidant system of the blood and helps to increase the amount of hemoglobin. Ultraviolet irradiation of the blood undoubtedly stimulates and improves immunity, improves tissue nutrition, which is of great importance for various diseases of internal organs.

A physiotherapeutic office is a structural unit of a medical and preventive institution; a set of premises, equipment and auxiliary equipment intended for performing physiotherapeutic procedures. It is necessary to distinguish between a physiotherapy department, where all the main types are presented (electrical, light, water, heat therapy), and a physiotherapy room, which has only a part of the devices. In the latter case, one or two or three rooms (usually adjacent) can be allocated for a physiotherapy room.

The organization of a physiotherapy room (department) provides rational placement and arrangement of equipment taking into account the ease of its operation and safety during procedures. The opening and operation of a physiotherapy department (office) is permitted only if it complies with the safety and sanitation rules approved by the USSR Ministry of Health and the Central Committee of the Health Workers' Trade Union.

The height of the premises of the physiotherapy room must be at least 3 m. The area of the premises for the physiotherapy room is determined at the rate of at least 6 m 2 per treatment couch. The area of the combined electric light therapy room must be at least 24 m2; if there are 4 or more low-power generators, a separate room with an area of also 24 m2 is allocated for them. The ratio of window area to floor area is at least 1: 6. The lowest artificial illumination at the level of 0.8 m from the floor with incandescent lamps is 75 lux, with fluorescent lamps - 150 lux.

The floor should be wooden. Walls to a height of 2 m are painted with light oil paint; the rest of the walls and ceiling are adhesive. Wall cladding with ceramic tiles is not permitted.

The physiotherapy room must have supply and exhaust ventilation with air heating, as well as transoms; the air temperature in the room should not be lower than 20°. The physiotherapy room must be equipped with a washbasin. Treatment areas (cabins) are separated from each other by curtains on a metal, plastic or polished wooden frame, attached to the ceiling at a height of 2 m. The metal structures of the cabins are insulated from the stone walls by placing 40 mm thick wooden socket boxes under the flanges, impregnated with paraffin and painted with oil paint.

Dimensions of cabins for electrolight therapy procedures: length 2-2.2 m, width (for all floor-standing and ultrasonic devices) - 2 m, for others - 1.6 m. Only one floor-standing device is installed in each cabin. To the physiotherapy room, where there are devices for, medicinal substances, treatment with low frequency currents and devices for, a special insulated box (8 m2) is allocated for work on the preparation of the treatment procedure (boiling electrode pads, drying them, wetting with solutions of medicinal substances, etc.) with a drying cabinet and exhaust ventilation.

The electrical equipment of the physiotherapy room must be carried out in accordance with the “Rules for the design, operation and physiotherapy departments (offices)”. Each office must have an independent electrical input from the main switchboard, laid with copper wire with a cross-section of at least 6 mm 2, and a group switchboard with a common switch or starter that has clearly marked “on” and “off” positions. The switch is installed at a height of 1.6 m from the floor level. A mains voltmeter with a phase switch is mounted on the switchboard. The group board is mounted from fuses or maximum current circuit breakers of 15 I with the number of groups corresponding to the number of installed devices, also taking into account sterilizers and electric stoves. In the booths for connecting devices, starter shields made of insulating material are installed at a height of 1.5 m from the floor level. A three-pole switch (starter) for 15-25 A is mounted on them, clearly marked “on”, “off”, four terminals in an insulating frame, of which two left ones are for connecting devices, the rest are for protective grounding of the device, one plug socket with self-catering.

Only portable equipment may be connected to the socket outlets. The line from the group to the starting panels is laid with copper wire with a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm 2. All starting devices are installed only in a protected form.

It is prohibited for personnel to remain in the direct radiation zone in front of the remotely located emitter of devices for microwave or decimeter wave therapy. The operation of such devices is carried out in specially designated rooms or in common rooms, subject to shielding using a metal mesh or chambers made of metal mesh, shields covered with absorbent electromagnetic vibrations substances, booths or screens made of cotton fabric with microwire.
