In case of violations of the work of several organs or systems that do not lend themselves to a standard medical explanation, it is believed that vegetative dysfunction (VD) takes place. This is a complex of disparate symptoms that are caused not by physical, but by nervous disorders in the body.
The methods of physiotherapeutic treatment of this vegetative disorder include:
- Electroson
- Electrophoresis
- Inductothermy
- Darsonvalization
- Galvanization
- Laser therapy
- Magnetic therapy
- Aeroionotherapy
Physiotherapy in the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia is aimed at regulating vascular tone, normalizing metabolism and eliminating pain. The nature, regularity and intensity of the procedures are selected by the doctor in accordance with the characteristics of the disease.
Massage for vegetoneurosis should be carried out in accordance with the type of disease. For hypertensive type, massage of the collar zone, legs, and abdomen is recommended. Percussion techniques together with pounding should be excluded. With hypotensive vegetative-vascular dystonia, acupressure and general massage are performed using elements such as stroking, rubbing, kneading, vibration. Massage helps to normalize the functionality of the nervous system, eliminate headaches, and adjust the patient's sleep.
Relief of the condition is brought by daily walks in the fresh air, moderate sports. It is especially good to visit the pool regularly, swimming is recommended by all doctors. Skiing in the winter forest, hiking — everything that gives sufficient load to the muscles and brings joy. The approach to the treatment of disorders in the central nervous system will depend on the nature of the occurrence of the disease. Among non-drug effects, this group of measures is one of the most effective.
Physiotherapy procedures are successfully used not only in the treatment of patients with VSD in a polyclinic or hospital, but also during sanatorium treatment.
The most commonly used electrophoresis with various pharmacological agents (calcium, caffeine, mezaton, euphyllin, papaverine, magnesium, bromine, novocaine), electroson, water procedures (Charcot shower or circular, underwater shower massage, contrast baths), sodium chloride baths, general radon, hydrogen sulfide, iodobromic baths, transcranial electroanalgesia, sinusoidal modulated currents, galvanization, magnetotherapy, aeroionotherapy, infrared laser therapy, UHF, thermal procedures (applications of paraffin and ozokerite), mud treatment. Acupuncture and massage are shown. The course application of physiotherapy methods allows you to eliminate many of the symptoms of VSD, sometimes even without additional ingestion of medications.
