Fisiatria
La fisiatria è la branca della medicina che si occupa della diagnosi, prevenzione e riabilitazione delle disfunzioni muscolo-scheletriche, neurologiche e posturali. L’obiettivo principale è ripristinare la funzionalità fisica, ridurre il dolore e migliorare la qualità della vita dei pazienti attraverso terapie conservative, esercizi guidati e programmi di riabilitazione personalizzati.
What it examines
Physical and rehabilitation medicine studies musculoskeletal, neurological and postural conditions and assesses how they affect a patient’s function and quality of life.
In practice, it focuses on:
-
muscle, joint and skeletal problems (such as back, knee or shoulder pain);
-
neurological disorders that limit movement (stroke, spinal injuries, neuropathies);
-
functional recovery after injuries, surgery or chronic illnesses;
-
prevention and rehabilitation to improve strength, mobility and posture.
Conditions treated
Common conditions treated in physical and rehabilitation medicine include:
-
Musculoskeletal pain: neck pain, low back pain and back pain
-
Injuries and fractures: post-operative or post-traumatic rehabilitation
-
Joint conditions: osteoarthritis, arthritis, tendinitis and bursitis
-
Neurological disorders: stroke, spinal cord injuries and peripheral neuropathies
-
Postural problems and scoliosis: postural defects and spinal misalignment
-
Chronic and degenerative diseases: multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and muscular dystrophy
-
Functional recovery after surgery or prolonged immobilization
-
Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
-
Geriatric rehabilitation: loss of mobility and strength in older adults
-
Sports injuries: muscle strains, sprains and overuse injuries
