Understanding Hamstring Injuries and Traditional Approaches
A hamstring injury can cause excruciating pain and restrict movement, especially in athletics and individuals who are physically active. Surgery is frequently needed for a torn or detached hamstring, and extensive therapy is then recommended. The recovery process may involve physical therapy, medication-assisted pain management, and, in certain situations, additional treatments such as corticosteroid injections. Despite these efforts, some individuals suffer from persistent pain and limited mobility, and recovery can be gradual.
After undergoing surgery for repairing a detached hamstring, an individual looked for alternative methods to improve mobility and reduce lingering pain. Although there had been some improvement using conventional rehabilitation methods, the leg’s continuing stiffness and restricted dorsal flexion remained to be challenges. By using microcurrent technology to encourage pain relief and enhanced function, Equiscope procedures might provide an additional solution.
A Journey Toward Healing with The Equiscope
1. First Session – May 27, 2024
- Pre-Protocol Assessment:
- Pain Level: 6 (greatest pain at 7-8)
- Range of Motion: 5-6
- Background: The client underwent surgery in January to repair a detached hamstring, which caused severe pain and restricted dorsal flexion.
- Protocol Plan:
- Bullseye/Grid
- Plates
- Sealing
- Y-Probe
- Post-Protocol Assessment:
- Pain Level: 0
- Range of Motion: 7-8
- Observations: At the end of the session, there was no pain, and range of motion had improved, but some tightness remained; significant decrease in edema.
2. Second Session – May 29, 2024
- Pre-Protocol Assessment:
- Pain Level: 3-4
- Range of Motion: 5-6
- Notes: Pain intensity significantly improved, with protocols focused on the extensor hallucis longus.
- Protocol Plan: Plates
- Post-Protocol Assessment:
- Pain Level: 0
- Range of Motion: 6-7
- Observations: At the end of the session, there was no pain and an increased range of motion. A week later, the client called to say they had started jogging again.
3. Third Session – May 30, 2024
- Pre-Protocol Assessment:
- Pain Level: 2-3
- Range of Motion: 7-8
- Notes: The client only experienced pain during range-of-motion testing after going for a morning stroll and continuing to feel better.
- Protocol Plan:
- Bilateral SP
- Plates
- Sealing
- Y-Probe
- Post-Protocol Assessment:
- Pain Level: 0
- Range of Motion: 8-9
- Observations: Overall bodily function improved, and there was no pain at the end of the session. The range of motion rose to about 85%. The client had scheduled a potential follow-up appointment prior to their June 22 trip to Colorado.
The Power of The Equiscope in Recovery
The above instance demonstrates how Equiscope procedures can enhance mobility, lessen discomfort, and promote general wellbeing. Even while traditional rehabilitation techniques are essential, including innovative microcurrent methods can offer extra advantages, possibly speeding up recovery and improving quality of life.
