Physiotherapy
A method that uses artificial or natural physical factors to act on the human body to produce favorable reactions and achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. important content of rehabilitation treatment. Physical factors cause human body reactions through direct effects on local areas and indirect effects on nerves and body fluids, adjust blood circulation, improve nutritional metabolism, improve immune function, regulate nervous system functions, and promote tissue repair, thus eliminating pathogenic factors and improving pathological processes. , to achieve the purpose of treatment. Commonly used artificial physical factors include electricity, light, sound, magnetism, temperature and mechanical force. Electric therapy is divided into direct current, low frequency electricity, medium frequency electricity, high frequency electricity and electrostatic therapy; phototherapy is divided into infrared, visible light, ultraviolet and laser therapy; sound therapy is divided into ultrasonic and ultrasonic therapy; treatments using temperature include hyperthermia, Cold therapy and cryotherapy; therapies that use mechanical force include massage, massage, manual therapy, traction and exercise, etc. Exercise therapy is an important part of physical therapy. It is a method that comprehensively utilizes the patient's strength and external mechanical force to prevent and treat diseases. Commonly used natural physical factors include sunlight, atmosphere, sea water, mineral springs, mountains and forests, etc. People are in different natural environments and accept the comprehensive influence of different natural physical factors in the environment to prevent and treat diseases. Artificial physical factors can also be used for physical diagnosis. Low-frequency pulse electricity is commonly used in physical therapy departments to measure the functional status of peripheral nerves. Pressure sensors are used to measure changes in the center of gravity of the human body to determine balance function. Ultraviolet erythema reaction is used to determine whether the human body is sensitive to sunlight and electrical excitement of acupoints is measured. Sex to estimate the functional status of meridians, etc. Physiotherapy is widely used in clinical applications, such as acute and chronic inflammation, acute and chronic injuries, limb movement dysfunction, pain syndromes, internal organ dysfunction, etc.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is radiotherapy, which refers to the use of rays to eliminate lesions. As an important means of treating malignant tumors, radiotherapy can produce good results for many cancers. However, radiotherapy can produce many toxic side effects such as radiation dermatitis, radiation esophagitis, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation. The use of traditional Chinese medicine and chemotherapy can not only effectively eliminate these side effects, but also can Increase the radiosensitivity of cancer cells and help radiation completely kill cancer cells.
Radiation therapy is physical therapy. Since the discovery of X-rays and radium at the end of the 19th century, there has been significant development in the use of radioactivity to treat malignant tumors. Currently, radiotherapy commonly used in clinical practice can be divided into two types: in vitro and in vivo. The former uses X-ray therapy machines, cobalt 60 therapy machines or neutron accelerators for treatment, while the latter uses radionuclides for treatment.
Radiation therapy uses X-rays, gamma rays, electron rays and other radiation to irradiate cancer tissue. Due to the biological effects of radiation, it can kill the maximum amount of cancer tissue, destroy it and shrink it. This therapy uses the lethal effect of radiation on cancer cells. Since a sufficient dose of radiation only has a therapeutic effect on the irradiated area, it is a local therapy like surgical therapy. Due to radiotherapy, cancer can be cured, symptoms can be improved, and life can be prolonged. These are the best expected results. It goes without saying that these are also indications for radiotherapy.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy: drug treatment of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, parasites, and malignant tumors (referred to as chemotherapy).
Chemotherapy refers to the application of drugs to treat cancer. These special drugs kill tumor cells and are sometimes called cytotoxic drugs. Many chemotherapy drugs are derived from nature, such as plants, while others are synthetic. There are currently more than 50 kinds of chemotherapy drugs, such as commonly used ones: epirubicin, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, mitomycin, fluorouracil, etc. These drugs are often used in combination at varying strengths.
