The purpose of the meetings

Why does physical therapy have such a specific focus on this topic?

“This course of webinars on pain – with very high quality content – is one of the exemplary activities for the scientific community to undertake, which is We talk about science and research in an interdisciplinary way– Answers Donato Lancelotti, Aifi’s National Secretary – We are proud to remember and confirm that this event was born from the initiative of two anesthesiologists who sought Aifi’s collaboration. Moreover, this kind of collaboration does not end with the sharing of scientific evidence but rather generates and directs towards the urgency that other professionals present to us: Building multidisciplinary interactions and pathways to respond to citizens’ needs. Paths in which physiotherapy supports the work of other specialists in the complex path of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation in which the citizen does not have to be alone. ”

Today we can and should really use what modern technology offers us to get to the origin of the pain, which is often the irritation of a nerve or muscle area during surgery. To this end, there are neuromodulation infiltrative techniques – such as pulsed radiofrequency – capable, in the hands of experts, of slowing the delivery of painful impulses from the area of ​​surgery to the brain.”
