Fracture
A fracture can affect all bones, although some are affected much more frequently than others. These include: Upper & lower arm bones, ribs, femoral neck and the fibula. Symptoms of a fracture can include pain, swelling, bruising and limited or no use of the affected area. Common causes of fractures include falls, accidents, or, in some cases, medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis. The effects can range from a small crack in the bone (fissure) to an open fracture. This can lead to accompanying muscle tension in the surrounding muscles, which can cause additional pain and restrict movement.
How Calopad helps with fractures
The application of deep heat leads to an expansion of the blood vessels in the body, which results in increased blood flow and thus brings more oxygen and nutrients to the treated areas. This not only improves the removal of waste products, but also supports the relaxation of the surrounding muscles and promotes regeneration. In addition, deep heat stimulates the skin's thermoreceptors, which can influence the sensation of pain by sending fewer pain signals to the brain.
The treatment of a bone fracture depends on the type and severity of the injury. In many cases, immobilization of the affected area with a splint or cast may be necessary. Physiotherapy may be recommended to restore the mobility and strength of the muscles after healing. This is why the Calopad Care Abo combines passive heat treatment with active therapies, such as muscle building, to ensure comprehensive treatment.
