The main goals of physiotherapy for obliterating diseases of the arteries of the lower extremities:
- Elimination of tissue hypoxia
- Improvement of blood circulation in the legs
- Removal of vascular spasm and their expansion
- Stimulation of the production of biologically active substances to improve tissue metabolism and activate tissue regeneration
The choice of a technique (one or a complex) is determined by the attending physician taking into account the stage of the disease, the patient's condition, the presence of other chronic diseases, the patient's age and other individual factors.
- Electrophoresis
- Darsonval
- UHF therapy
- Magnetic therapy
- Mud applications
- Pearl baths
Procedures are contraindicated when:
- arterial hypertension;
- diabetes mellitus;
- progressive (unstable) angina;
- circulatory insufficiency above stage IIB;
- prognostically unfavorable cardiac arrhythmias (frequent group extrasystole, frequent difficult-to-control paroxysmal cardiac arrhythmias);
- aneurysm of the heart and blood vessels.
Treatment results
The most important therapeutic effect is analgesia, improvement of blood circulation, increasing the distance of pain—free walking without additional use of medications. Complex treatment with the use of physiotherapy procedures is more effective, which has been proven by many years of practice.
