The mechanism of interaction of natural physical factors and the whole organism forms the basis of the general theory of physiotherapy

Abstract

The optimal combination of drug therapy and physical factors increases the effectiveness of treatment and medical rehabilitation of patients. It is regrettable that the search for methods to improve the individual dosing of the energies used with an approximation to the cellular level of dynamism (constant correction of the parameters of the physical factors used during the entire period of treatment) and complex (in the presence of several diseases) treatment are clearly insufficient today. Perhaps such a search is difficult due to the current lack of a general theory of physiotherapy and the imperfection of the classification of physical factors. In this regard, there was a need to develop principles and methods for a comprehensive study of the effect of physical methods in clinical settings, and the requirements for testing new devices for physiotherapy sharply increased. The author of this direction was an outstanding scientist Vladimir Sergeevich Ulashchik. In his opinion, the creation of a general theory of physiotherapy is one of the promising tasks of scientific physiotherapy.
